"Sto lavorando ad un'eroina che non piacerà a nessuno, tranne a me stessa" così Jane Austen parlava di Emma, la sua protagonista, un'eroina assolutamente anticonvenzionale per l'epoca, una ragazza bella intelligente e ricca, con una grande autostima, libertà d'azione e un'indole brillante. Emma Woodhouse è una ventunenne che non intende sposarsi, consapevole che il matrimonio sia per lei del tutto inutile (vista la situazione già così felice) e consapevole che, in virtù della sua posizione sociale, non diventerà mai una povera zitella, ma sarà sempre una donna ricca di fascino e interessi.

Emma Woodhouse no es la típica heroína de Jane Austen: no es dependiente, no tiene un status y una economía precarios, y no necesita, para asegurar su futuro, cazar marido. Al contrario, es una joven «inteligente, bella y rica», que no aspira al matrimonio y que rige como por derecho natural los destinos de la pequeña comunidad de Highbury. Emma (1816) es una fulgurante comedia de equívocos, llena de ocultaciones, intrigas y errores que muchas veces inspiran vergüenza ajena, pero en la que el sentido del ridículo sirve como vehículo para el acierto y la sensatez.
