In Jane Austen’s 1815 novel Emma, our heroine is Emma Woodhouse, a young woman of twenty that the book describes as handsome, clever, and rich. I personally describe her as a beautiful bimbo, and I also posit that Emma is a lesbian. Winchester’s Jane may not have intentionally written her that way, but I will present to you the events of the novel with a decidedly queer interpretation, and you, dear reader, may see for yourself how well the glove fits.
