Ursula K. Le Guin is pretty good I think. I wouldn't call her the best, but I mean would you have an answer to the question "Who is the best male author?"

I've been boycotting women authors. All they write is click bait man hate shit. Fuck women writers.

Elizabeth Anscombe.

Connie Willis.

Flannery O'Connor.

we really need to accept that Austen is actually incredibly important.

She shaped the modern view of a good man/woman. She almost single-handedly alongside very few people in the same exact time period who were fully aware of her work, like Samuel Johnson with his Rambler newspaper. Her novels transitioned the common perception of a good man/good husband to one who is good hearted, even if they aren't as successful socially. I.e. men who say what they believe, not what is right.

This was incredibly radical and unacceptable in the time. Austen was a radical writer. There's a reason most of her work wasn't published until after her death - the social establishment was horrified by the influence and success of her early work.

I realize I worded this badly -

She made men who were good hearted rather than trained to be show dogs the desirable husbands in a world that, for 150 years, had the royal idea of "good breeding" leaking into lower and lower classes. In Austen's time farmer's daughters were going to events to show off their manners. It was an outrageous and disingenuous system that Austen inspired a movement against and brought down within a generation. Her influence on everyday life and thought about others is perhaps more than any man in her century. In terms of shaping views of character she is on par with Shakespeare. Austen can not be dismissed by any adequately conservative reader as a woman who wrote romance novels.
