Have you seen the personal essay, "From Lizzy Bennet to Fanny Price: My Jane Austen Journey" by Mackenzie Broderick, published recently on The Huffington Post? If the name sounds familiar, that's because Mackenzie won the JASNA National essay contest last year! Also, our region contributed $100 to her expenses to travel to last year's AGM to accept the award.
Her personal essay is a wonderful read, and there's even a photo of her "finest hour" at the JASNA AGM ball last year in Minneapolis.
