A review by capy
Persuasion by Jane Austen

emotional hopeful reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

 Well, Miss Elliot… I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman’s inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman’s fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men.

Perhaps I shall. Yes, yes, if you please, no reference to examples in books. Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.

GO ON! miss austen knew what all girlies wanted and that's death to the patriarchy
