Now that the dust has finally settled, are any of her books worth reading?

According to modern scholarship, Jane Austen was female, most likely an adult woman, though little girl is not ruled out.

Is this actually true, or is it just woke leftie academics trying to shoehorn women into classic literature?

>In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you
Damn, just got up to this bit and I'm loving this book, was smiling this entire chapter and the next
Does any of her other works get this good?
Do any other romances of the period or perhaps later have this same dynamic?
