Jane Austen included in Guardian list of “life-changing books”
Teresa sends along a link to an article from the Guardian, which says that women turn to classic literature when they are looking for inspiration. (The Brontë sisters top the list, however.)
Nestling side by side in comfortable sibling rivalry on our adolescent bookshelves, flanked by Jane Austen and George Eliot, the Bronte sisters now go into battle for the supreme place in our hearts.

Why can’t these journalists get the names right - & does nobody edit their copy before it’s published? Between Bennet/Bennett, Elinor/Eleanor and Elliott/Eliot/Elliot it is pretty rare that these folks don’t screw up! Pretty decent article otherwise, though! Thanks!
