Jane Austen to grace £10 notes

Jane Austen will appear on a new issue of the English £10 note, a
welcome break in the sausage-fest that presently constitutes our
specie.

I do find it interesting that the Queen is apparently not considered a woman. She is on every single Bank of England note last I checked. With Elizabeth Fry, pictures of women constitute 50% of all pictures on Bank of England notes (would have been greater, but Matthew Boulton and James Watt are on the 50).
