Women Writing About Money: Women's Fiction in England is a 1995 non-fiction book by Edward Copeland.
The book is about the lives of women in Jane Austen's time who had no legal access to money, but were held responsible for domestic expenditure. The book talks about the professional lives of women authors, their publishers, and their profits.
Amanda Gilroy, of Romanticism, reviewed the book saying, "These cavils aside, Copeland provides a wealth of contextual material. He has undertaken the type of assiduous research that makes Women Writing About Money a fascinating history of the relations between economic details and gender in the period. It will be up to other Romantic scholars to investigate further the insight that 'systems of consumption and systems of discourse are not by any means independent of one another." [1] It won a prize for One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Books for 1995. [2]
Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works are an implicit critique of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her deft use of social commentary, realism and biting irony have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.

Jane Austen's (1775–1817) distinctive literary style relies on a combination of parody, burlesque, irony, free indirect speech and a degree of realism. She uses parody and burlesque for comic effect and to critique the portrayal of women in 18th-century sentimental and Gothic novels. Austen extends her critique by highlighting social hypocrisy through irony; she often creates an ironic tone through free indirect speech in which the thoughts and words of the characters mix with the voice of the narrator. The degree to which critics believe Austen's characters have psychological depth informs their views regarding her realism. While some scholars argue that Austen falls into a tradition of realism because of her finely executed portrayal of individual characters and her emphasis on "the everyday", others contend that her characters lack a depth of feeling compared with earlier works, and that this, combined with Austen's polemical tone, places her outside the realist tradition.

Romanticism was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century. Scholars regard the publishing of William Wordsworth's and Samuel Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads in 1798 as probably the beginning of the movement in England, and the crowning of Queen Victoria in 1837 as its end. Romanticism arrived in other parts of the English-speaking world later; in the United States, it arrived around 1820.
