Jane Austen will become the third female historical figures’ portrait to be printed on the pound note since 1970. The Bank of England announced in April this year, the British Prime Minister Churchill in the wartime will replace the nineteenth Century female social reformer Frei in 2016, becoming the 5 pound notes portrait, which means that the female portrait on the pound note is only Queen Elizabeth II of England. This leads much dissatisfaction to female advocates.

Peres said, this victory is the result of joint action, and criticized the Bank of England tried to will sweep women out of the British history. Carney, the new governor of the Bank of England stressed that their bank has no intention to exclude women from the bill portrait candidate, and said Jane Austen deserves to place a position in the pound note.

英国记者佩雷斯早前发起网上联名，要求英格兰银行选择女性作为新钞肖像人物，获得3.5万人响应。佩雷斯称，今次胜利是联名行动的成果，并批评英格兰银行试图“将女性扫出英国历史”。英格兰银行新任行长卡尼则强调，银行无意把女性排除在钞票肖像人选之外，并称简·奥斯汀值得在英镑钞票上占据席位。
