Jane Austen
Jane Austen is recognised for penning some of history’s most significant works of female fiction, including ‘Sense and Sensibility,’ ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ ‘Mansfield Park,’ and ‘Emma,’ all of which have been made into films. Despite the fact that the author regularly wrote about romance in her works, she never married and was mostly concerned with her writing. Austin was attractive, gorgeous, and flirty, exactly like her heroines, but marriage was a financial concern for her because of the manner in which it damaged a woman’s inheritance in the nineteenth century.
One popular theory is that Austen didn’t marry because she didn’t prefer men, although there’s little evidence to back up this allegation. She was linked to Tom Lefroy, who went on to become Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, but the writer declined to marry him. She died at the age of 40, which was not unheard of just a few centuries ago. Unless you include her writings, which have remained a legacy to this day, Austen was still single and had no children of her own when she died.
