British 19th century novelist Jane Austen will become the face of the new 10pound note，the Bank of England said on Wednesday．
Jane Austen is a famous woman writer who wrote such works as Pride and Prejudice，Sense and Sensibility and Emma．She will replace naturalist Charles Darwin on Britain's most popular banknote．
In April，Britain's central bank announced the former Prime Minister Winston Churchill would appear on the reverse side of the five pound note，replacing the social reformer Elizabeth Fry．This action led to people's outcry．They said that it meant women were not as equal as men on the country's banknotes．
Mark Carney，the first foreigner to head the bank in its 319-year history，praised Austen as"one of the greatest writers in English literature （文學）"
"We believe that our notes should celebrate the full diversity of great British historical figures and their contributions in a wide range of fields，"he told a gathering at the Jane Austen House Museum in Chawton，the 17th century house where the author wrote some of her best-known novels．
The Austen notes are likely to appear in 2017．On the note，there will be a portrait of Jane Austen，together with the quote"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!"from Pride and Prejudice．
Like many other countries，Britain changes the design of its banknotes at regular times to avoid counterfeiting （偽造的） risks．
Since 1960，most of historical figures in banknotes have been men．In the mid 1970s，the nurse Florence Nightingale appeared on the 10pound note for the first time，but the notes went out of issue in the early 1990s．
Carney said it was never the Bank's intention that none of the four characters on its notes should be a woman．"You can see that our job at the Bank of England is to protect the value of the new Jane Austen note，"he said．
