Austen is one of the most important British authors.   While today her novels are often considered by some to be part of the romance genre, Austens books actually helped popularize the idea of marrying for love in the first place. During Austens time marriage was more of a business contract, couples would decide to get married based on things like each others economic class. As one can imagine marriages like this werent always the best for women. Marriages built on love rather than for business reasons were a common plot point in many of Austens novels. Austens novels also pointed out the many ways women of her time depended on their ability to marry well.   Women rarely worked during Austens job and the few jobs they did hold were often service positions like cook or governess. Women relied on their husbands employment to provide for any family they might have.   Austen was a trailblazer in multiple ways, she chose not to marry and managed to earn money with her writing. While many artists arent appreciated in their lifetime, Austen was a popular author within her own life. Her books afforded her the ability not to need a husband to rely on. Her list of works is rather short by comparison but this is most likely due to her life being cut short due to an unknown illness.
