Inspirational movies: Becoming Jane (2007)

Becoming Jane (2007) will entertain you and will give you the always needed push reminding how important independence and feminism is for well educated young ladies with ambitions. Also, it will remind you that a happy ending might not be what you imagined it to be.

And you may want to read a Jane Austen book after all.

Girls & Books (Tove)

"I think every girl should read something by Jane Austen, preferably Pride and Prejudice first published in 1813. Jane writes about a time in English history when it was really difficult being a girl, everything was about finding man you could first and foremost marry for money so that he could support you. Still, in almost every book, the main character is a strong and powerful woman trying to be as independent as possible.

And when you've read the book, don't miss the BBC mini-series from 1995 with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. :)"
