Who was Jane Austen’s best heroine? These experts think they know

We’re pitting her much-loved heroines against each other in a battle of wit, charm and sass

The first rule of #JaneAusten #FightClub is.... They are all winners! But pick my entry on Elinor Dashwood, please!

I can't decide which I enjoy more: watching #TheGildedAge or reading all the Reddit comments abt it. Julian Fellowes has not disappointed this season & viewers are having so much fun!
