As long as the Bluestockings confined themselves to a feminism that
was not political, that did not challenge the social structure by
objecting to slavery in th colonies, especially in the New World,
and extending the issue to how pluralism and absenteeism enslaved
the wealthy in England, who cared what some old women said? However,
Jane Austen had to be quiet (hidden or silent) else the entire house
of Industrialism connected to Colonialism and slavery might collapse.
Pitt was actively searching for such radical opposition!
