People who do that are missing the ultimate point, her work is about life and people, and they obviously haven't read her more obscure works. Some think the Bronte's are romance also, and that not only makes me cringe, but it also makes me scream. I always cringe when I hear Jane Austen’s work described as romance.

Publishers will do anything to carve one out. Even mess with the mother of "women's fiction" - Jane Austen. Categorizing as romance isn't all that bad. At least they're not restricting her marketability to Brits, simply because she's one. Niche marketing is what it’s all about now. Publishers will do anything to carve one out.
