Jane anger is a hotly debated topic as a feminist writer, not because of their attitudes towards feminism in the modern day but due to their general obscurity, it is not known if Jane Anger is an alias or the author's actual name.

Despite this opacity of identity, Jane Anger's 1589 essay, Protection for Women, is a multipart essay that combines both scholarly research and comical wit, addressing the faults and failings of patriarchal attitudes, especially in the case of courtship, and champions female sexual autonomy.
