CHAWTON HOUSE
Chawton House, formerly owned by the family of Edward Austen Knight, Jane's brother, was converted to the Chawton House Library for the study of early women's writings. Sandy Lerner bought the house, restored it, and donated her collection of women's writings of the 17th to the 19th centuries. She has recently decided to end her financial support leading the library to launch a plan to become self sufficient. JASNA and it's members have supported the library through the North American Friends of Chawton House Library. JASNA has sent out a plea to it's members to support their efforts.

Chawton House is the one where I have been going in routine to read all the books they have got in their library. It sure has been a good idea to get almost every type of book to read.
