Jane Anger was a British writer and feminist of the late Elizabethan period. She is probably best known as the author of Her Protection for Women, a pamphlet published in London in 1589, of which only one original copy survives.

Nothing is known of the author. It purports to be written by “Jane Anger, Gentlewoman at London” but this was almost certainly to have been a pseudonym, chosen to suit the content of the work; “to defend them against the scandalous reports of a late surfeiting Lover, and all other like Venerians that complain so to be overjoyed with women's kindness.” Although there is no reason to doubt that the author was a woman, the rhetorical style of the writing could also have the work of an educated male author.

Jane Anger responded to Boke His Surfeit in Love, with a farwel to the folies of his own phantasie (1588) by Thomas Orwin. The Protection combines classical myths with street polemic. According to a modern review on the Internet, ”Protection is peppered with classical Latin quotes, feminist interpretations of the Bible, jabs at men and their poor logic, and references to events of antiquity, to strong and virtuous women classical and contemporary women, and to women's inherent moral superiority. Well does Anger refute Orwin's claim that women are lustful and untrustworthy.”(http://www.pinn.net/~sunshine/whm2000/anger2.html)
