  Arguement: Jane Austen was a feminist and beleived it was up to the younger generation to set an example of how women should be treated.
  
  Claim:Mary Margagret Benson argues that all the mothers were either absent or very silly in Austen novels. ALso talking about hoow the younger women were always off to make better lives for themselves than their mothers.
  
  Evidence:"All the heroines have the makings of being better mothers than their own; with the self-knowledge they have achieved in the course of the novels, it is quite likely that they will succeed" " happy marriage and successful motherhood exist - but they are rare, and require intelligence and emotional maturity"
