Abstract

Jane Austen is the most important and most famous female writer during the 18th and 19th centuries in British history. She has written 6 novels during her whole life based on her own life experiences and her own understanding of women’s love and marriage. Most of the novels she has written are world-famous and have attracted millions of readers. In her works, Jane Austen has created various different female characters with different personalities and experiences. From their stories, we can see that even under the pressure of patriarchal authority at that time, many women began to pursue their true love and independent social status. The awakening of female consciousness in Jane Austen’s works can be clearly seen.
