I love Jane Austen. Most of all, I love the heroines she created. I’ve always thought it a great crime that the women we know and adore weren’t given the opportunity to know and adore each other.
Jane famously wrote that a man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife, but I am convinced that, instead, a girl is always in want of more girlfriends. The Jane Austen Academy series is an opportunity to explore the rivalries and friendships I imagine between her heroines.
Here’s to…
…the friend who is always there for you.
…the friend you go to when you need a good cry.
…the friend you can depend on to help you reach your dreams.
…the friend who understands you without a word.
…the friend who is always up for trying new things.
…and the friend you can count on to keep a secret.
Here’s to all the Lizzies, Eleanors, Kats, Fannys, Emmas, and Annes in your life.
