What was Jane Austen's profession?

Answer 1

Very few women had a profession back then. A woman of her social background could only work as a governess - but only as a last resort, because the experience could be horrible. She could have never dared describe herself as a professional writer, neither did she earn enough to support herself. She was a spinster who wrote - occasionally.

Answer 2

Jane Austen was a famous English novelist known for her works such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility." Writing was her primary profession, and she is regarded as one of the most important literary figures of the 19th century.

Answer 3

It was writing and reading of course! How else would she have become such a fantastic writer? She was a very independent woman and relied on no one but her family.
