To represent nineteenth-century society with such subtleness and style was not as easy as Jane Austen did.

I have read Austen often and frequently just to delve into the finest female characters she created in her novels.

Who, despite living in the most conventional and male-dominated society, chose to be the main characters.

Women of those times did not have many choices for their future, but apparently, they built one with their passion, disposition and sincerity of action.

Their fortunes were confined to marrying a wealthy man with a good estate, but they did it differently, denying all the conventions and rules and making their fortunes self-reliant.

When I speak of such strong female characters of Austen, then I can't forget to name them with the utmost sincerity with which they were concocted.

Elizabeth Bennett, one of the best characters that Jane Austen created, no one would better define the essence of Pride and Prejudice than Elizabeth herself.

Elinor Dashwood is a prudent woman in Sense and Sensibility.

Emma Woodhouse is the protagonist of the novel Emma.

Anne Eliot of Austen's novel Persuasion.

These characters were not similar, but they possessed a strong quality of being independent and self-reliant.
