Becoming Jane is a movie about the famous female author, Jane Austen.  While partly fiction, it is inspired by the early life of Miss Austen and her unproven relationship with Tom Lefroy. While unproven, it has been acknowledged by biographers that there was a relationship between Tom and Jane. And also, on the Jane Austen Wikipedia page it says that there was a relationship.

Becoming Jane is a movie that I would recommend to any Jane Austen fan. It helps you to see what women gave up so they could write novels. Jane was a female writer in a time when it was unacceptable for a woman to have such a profession.

If in fact, the relationship between Tom and Jane was real then we know what inspired to write such great novels.

Becoming Jane touched me deep into my soul as I saw parts of her life that she must have drawn upon to write Pride and Prejudice as well as Sense and Sensibility.
