- Description
- In 1811, Sense and Sensibility was published, and rather than Jane Austen’s name appearing as its author, the title-page simply read “By a Lady.” Now, Austen is one of the most widely-read authors in the Western canon. Born on 16 December 1775, in Steventon, England, 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth. Sotheby’s is proud to present a cross-category sale that celebrates not only Austen, but other women who have pushed creative and intellectual boundaries over the last 250 years, and made lasting impressions on culture and thought. This October, “By a Lady” will highlight women authors, intellectuals, and artists working at the edges of their fields to create something remarkable.For assistance with bidding and registration, please contact:+1 212 606 7000enquiries@sothebys.comFor all other enquiries please contact:Richard AustinSenior Vice PresidentGlobal Head of DepartmentBooks Manuscripts+1 212 606 7385RICHARD.AUSTIN@SOTHEBYS.COMSelby KifferSenior Vice PresidentInternational Senior SpecialistBooks Manuscripts+1 212 606 7385SELBY.KIFFER@SOTHEBYS.COMDr. Kalika SandsVice President, Head of DepartmentInternational SpecialistBooks Manuscripts+1 212 606 7385KALIKA.SANDS@SOTHEBYS.COMNoah GoldrachSpecialistBooks Manuscripts+1 212 606 7385NOAH.GOLDRACH@SOTHEBYS.COMFenella TheisCataloguerBooks Manuscripts+1 212 606 7385FENELLA.THEIS@SOTHEBYS.COMEmily ZasAssociate CataloguerBooks Manuscripts+1 212 606 7385EMILY.ZAS@SOTHEBYS.COMGabriella HetuPre-Sale CoordinatorBooks Manuscripts+1 212 606 7385GABRIELLA.HETU@SOTHEBYS.COM
