Very little is known about Jane Austen's life, aside from that was born in England in 1775, and that she was educated primarily by her father, brothers and the numerous books and texts she read over the course of her life. Her signature genre that she wrote in was the romantic or coming of age genre, which is what most of her most famous works were written in, including Pride and Prejudice.
One of the things that she was passionate about was marrying for love, not money, because of how, in that era, girls were forced to marry men just because of their wealth, so that they would have a good and prosperous future. Austen wanted to show women that you can be happy marrying someone you love, and you needn't marry a man out of convenience.
Jane Austen wrote about what was going on in that time for women, and through the character of Elizabeth, showed her views and opinions on women marrying for the well-being of their family. Her books allow people living in this generation to get a glimpse at life in the 1800s for women, and men, and her books still interest people now.
