💡 Fun Fact About Jane Austen

Did you know Jane Austen’s books were originally published anonymously? Her first novel, Sense and Sensibility, was released in 1811 with the author credited only as “By a Lady.” It wasn’t until after her death in 1817 that her name became publicly associated with her beloved works.
