At first, I found a bit abnormal while reading pride and prejudice as a female character has been mentioned as handsome (Mr. Darcy mentions Ms. Elizabeth Bennet ) and then I came to know that English classics has its own style of recognizing people using adjectives which makes men and women common...
Thereafter, I got a clearence that handsome is not only the adjective which stucks with men but also suits for women who attires themselves in a nice manner..
