Jane Austen and her Struggles?

Question

What were the trials and obstacles of Jane Austen's journey?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Well, she was a woman, and women were not respected much as authors in her time.

Answer 2

Austen's novels were the first literary works to acknowledge this complex dance of gender and social convention, in a way that was funny, perceptive, and realistic. With her elegantly crafted plots and characters, Jane Austen pretty much single-handedly rescued the novel from the trash heap of the literary world.
