• Ho Yay: Has her own page now.
• Values Dissonance: Modern readers sometimes sneer at her emphasis on marriage, forgetting that in Austen's day women who didn't marry could end up forgotten at best, starving in the streets at worst. Austen herself, interestingly, never married, and was forced to live off the charity of relatives -- and not luxuriously.
