Jane Austen will become the third femalehistorical figures’ portrait to be printed on the poundnote since 1970. The Bank of England announced in April this year, theBritish Prime Minister Churchill in the wartime will replace the nineteenthCentury female social reformer Frei in 2016, becoming the 5 pound notesportrait, which means that the female portrait on the pound note is only Queen ElizabethII of England. This leads much dissatisfaction to female advocates.

簡·奧斯汀將成爲自1970年至今，第3位肖像被印在英鎊鈔票的女性歷史人物。英格蘭銀行今年4月宣佈，英國戰時首相丘吉爾將由2016年起，取代19世紀女性社會改革家弗賴，成爲5英鎊鈔票的肖像人物，這意味着印在英鎊鈔票上的女性肖像只剩下英國女王伊麗莎白二世，引來不少女性權益人士的不滿。
