This study addresses a paradox in the lives of women in Jane
Austen's time who had no legal access to money yet were held
responsible for domestic expenditure. The book translates the
fictional money of the novels of Jane Austen's day into the power
of contemporary spendable incomes, and from the perspective of what
the British pound could buy at the market, the economic lives of
women in the novels emerge as part of a general picture of women's
economic disability. Through the work of writers such as Austen and
Edgeworth, as well as those of magazine fiction, the author
examines the professional lives of women authors, their publishers,
their profits, and the demands of their reading public. By linking
authorship to the economic lives of contemporary women, Women
Writing About Money links the fantasy worlds of women's fiction
with the social and economic realities of both readers and writers.
