Jane Austen was born on this day in 1775.   She wrote some of the most popular novels of the 19th century.   

In recent years, many discovered her novels because of movies like "Sense and Sensibility"  "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma".   Jane Austen was one of the greatest writers in English history.   A few years ago, a BBC poll named her one of the "100 Most Famous Britons of All Time." 

She died in 1816.
