This Jane Austen Fight Club video is one of my all-time favorites. Women's role in Victorian society was so stifled, I suspect some Victorian women may have leaped at the chance to join a fight club! This video, from the Wall Street Journal's site, accompanied an article about young adults' attraction to Jane Austen and to the Jane Austen Society. The WSJ ran the article in 2010, but the Jane Austen Society is still going strong. In fact, in October, the Jane Austen Society of North America held its annual General Meeting in NYC this year, drawing "Janeites" from the US and Canada.
