NetGalley Review: 4 starsLast updated on 29 Dec 2022"A new approach to looking at Jane Austen's female characters! The author takes the characters and draws parallels to modern day society. A really interesting book that fans of Jane Austen are sure to enjoy."--Christine Piepmeier, educator, Bitches in Bonnets is a cheeky and charming exploration of the complexities of female relationships in Austen's world and our own. I'd highly recommend this book to those who enjoy Austen or those who don't quite understand the nuances of female relationships but seek a deeper understanding through treasure of literature.

Synopsis
Have you ever recognized Mrs. Elton in an office colleague? Or caught a glimpse of Lady Catherine de Bourgh in the neighborhood crank? Have you spotted a young Emma Woodhouse in your teenage daughter's clique? Over two hundred years after their creation, Jane Austen's mean girls are still alive and kicking. Bitches in Bonnets explores parallels between Austen's world and our own, showing how modern social and behavioral scientists are just beginning to document and quantify what the author knew instinctively. Interweaving modern research and sociological experiments, author and Austen scholar Sarah Makowski looks beyond Austen's texts for the sources of female aggression both during the Regency and today. Despite incredible advances in gender equality, women still face discrimination and bullying from creche to career. The cruelest assaults are those that are least expected - from other women. Hardly a woman alive has not experienced a false friend whose opinions and affection bring both positive and destructive consequences. The very ordinariness of Austen's stories leaves room for us to identify with her flawed heroines and make peace with their enemies. Bitches in Bonnets examines how six novels of quiet English life, penned by a parochial Regency spinster, still provide insight on female relationships after all these years and how Austen's writing - and our reading of it - offers solace to millions of fans worldwide., Bitches in Bonnets examines how six novels of quiet English life, penned by parochial Regency spinster Jane Austen, still provide insight on female relationships after all these years and how Austen's writing - and our reading of it - offers solace to millions of fans worldwide.

    The cups and saucers were in great condition as described. The seller did an exceptional job of packing the items to ensure they would arrive undamaged. I have the accompanying dinner, bread, and salad dishes for this Mikasa set, so I'm thrilled to replace the cups that broke over time. The seller shipped the order the morning after I purchased to ensure speedy delivery. I highly recommend this seller.
