English Version | Pride without Prejudice

To think of Jane Austen is to think of novels about the aristocracy of an era dictated by officers and gentlemen. It's imagining royalty and nobility in a tête-à-tête at exclusive parties where the dances were kept in a notebook and secrets were whispered in the ear, protected by a gloved hand. But thinking about Jane Austen is also reading (between the lines or not) a strong protagonist of some of the greatest literary works of all time. It is also reading about a female main character who has an opinion, who is cultured, who does not bend to the rules of society, who is not satisfied and who does not submit to any marriage of convenience but fights for true love. And when we say love, read (between the lines or not) freedom of choice. Think of Elizabeth Bennet, Emma Woodhouse, Elinor Dashwood, and even Austen herself (being an author, what a sacrilege! Jane began by publishing her works anonymously), who, in an age dominated by men, dared to be what women shouldn't be: themselves. Photography by Juankr. Styling by Caterina Ospina.
