Origin[]

Jane Austen was an English novelist known principally for her five major novels which interpret, critique and comment upon the life of the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Although first published anonymously to little review, her works are now almost never out of production.

Her most highly praised novel during her own lifetime was Pride and Prejudice, which heavily reflected issues of marriage, wealth, class and love at the time. In it, Elizabeth Bennet is strong willed but also prejudiced in her views of the new neighbor Mr. Darcy’s attempts to swoon for her love.

Effects[]

Wearing these gloves makes the feminine wearer proper, well mannered and able to fit well into any polite society, but also increases their hormone production where they fall desperately in love with any man they see.
