The rights of women in Jane Austen's England were limited
in several ways. Women could not be admited to universities, they could not vote, and
they could not hold elected office. The Church of England being the official state
religion, women could not be priests or bishops. A woman could be Queen of England, but
only if there were no legitimate male heirs. Many positions of power, especially those
requiring university degrees, were not open to women. Only men could pursue military or
legal careers, for example. Inheritance of titles and estates normally went to the
eldest son. Married women could not hold property independently of their husbands until
passage of the Married Woman's Property Act.
