Even though Austen wasn’t out there smashing the system, her books are all about filtering a very patriarchial society through a female point view through the use of irony and wit. She made profound observations about the way people interact, specifically on how women make do in a world that is hostile towards them. Lizzy Bennet [in Pride and Prejudice] is a prime example, who filters her experience through wit and wry observations, and that’s essentially what feminist bloggers do. There’s a really strong connection between Jane Austen and online feminism where we’re using humour, memes and jokes as a way of processing living in patriarchy.
