These women, genteel and beautiful, are the rebels who say no to the choices made by silly mothers, incompetent fathers {there are seldom any wise fathers in Austen's novels} and the rigidly orthodox society. They risk ostracism and poverty to gain love and companionship, and to embrace that elusive goal at the heart of democracy: the right to choose.
