3. What woman were like in the 1800’s “Jane Austen’s women have been nurtured on the food of “proper feminine conduct.” Women of Jane Austen’s time were required to be amiably weak, retiring, and docile so as to assure the authority, the chivalry, even the identity of men” which we see in Jane Austen’s characters with a bit of a twist – Dwight McCawley.

The Money was to support the women and also their families”- JiaNiu
