Can’t believe Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in the 2000s

And in 2015 Emily Brontë released literary clsssic Wuthering Heights

Thank God someone paved the way for them…

if you think jk was the first woman author, you don’t actually care about women authors.

Mary Shelley didnt fuck on her parents graves for this level of disrespect

Murasaki Shikibu didn’t invent the novel for this.

Christine de Pizan did not sit down at her desk and write The Book of the City of Ladies, advocating for women’s education and finding value in women of all social classes and backgrounds, in 1405 for this.

This……….isn’t even true in 20th century fantasy or childrens books? Pierce, Lackey, Applegate, McCaffrey, Bradley, Butler, whomst?

Casual reminder that

a woman was the first known author/poet in 2300BC - Enheduanna

the first novel in recorded history was written by a woman in 1010AD - Murasaki Shikibu

the earliest example of science fiction was written by a woman in 1666 - Margaret Cavendish

horror science fiction was popularised by a teenage girl in 1818 - Mary Shelley

a Scotswoman expanded childrens’ stories from moralising tales into anarchic adventures in the mid 1800s, well before it became popular in the early 20th century - Catherine Sinclair

the masked/costumed hero archetype that inspired Batman and Zorro was created by a woman in 1905 - Baroness Emma Orczy

And while she is problematic as all get out, we all know who is to blame for popularising Boarding School fiction (which is a huge inspiration of She Who Must Not Be Named) from the 1930s onwards - Enid Blyton

And do I even need to mention what a badass pioneer Ursula Le Guin was for women author in the fantasy/sci-fi genre?

Not to mention Agatha Christie is literally second only to Shakespeare in terms of works sold – 4 billion compared to JKR’s paltry 500 million

Enheduanna didn’t carve her poetry as the first known poet in 23rd century BC for this disrespect

Tell me you’ve never read a book without telling me you’ve never read a book.

you deserve to be loved without having to hide the parts of yourself that you think are unlovable.

If you’re unhappy I guarantee 9/10 times the problem is you. And the solution is simple, become a better person. To do this you have to take action and do things you normally wouldn’t. Don’t try to think your way into living a good life. Your thinking is already flawed. Live the way you know you should, make good habits treating people well, respecting others and yourself, going out of your way to be helpful even to those who would not do the same for you. It takes time but eventually living this way will change your thinking and you will learn to be happy with yourself.
