Can you recommend a biography of Jane Austin?

In Judith Terry’s introduction, she highlights the dialogue between Anne and Harville re: constancy of the sexes. It is not necessary to project our feminist interpretation, it’s there already. Jane Austen’s writing is so wonderfully yin/yang. Her natural feminism expands our historical imagination. Maybe not so much re:abolishionist thinking.
