Becoming Jane

A financially struggling young woman resists family pressure to marry for security, determined to protect her independence and writing. When she becomes involved with a charming but penniless lawyer, their relationship challenges her ideas about love, duty, creativity, and the limited choices available to women of her time.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like romantic period dramas such as The Young Victoria or The Duchess and stories about women challenging social expectations; Not for you if you want a historically rigorous, fast-paced biography.
