The new British ten pound note was unveiled today and featured an image of the famed English writer, Jane Austen.

Austen is best known for her books like PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and NORTHANGER ABBEY and is a beloved author worldwide. As part of an attempt to include more historical women on the new bank notes, a petition was filed encouraging the change of rules to allow more famous women on currency.

The notes feature an image of Austen along with the lovely quote, “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!” The outcry over the lack of women on British currency started when it was announced that Sir Winston Chruchill would be featured on the new five pound notes.

Which famous female do you think deserves to be featured on currency?
