What makes Jane Austen the ideal banknote candidate?

When Charles Darwin disappears off the back of the Bank of England's £10 note, Jane Austen is a candidate to replace him. It's exactly what was speculated yesterday.
Austen is likely to make a popular choice, but how might she have won over the Bank of England?
It's the bicentenary of Pride and Prejudice, arguably her best-known novel, so getting her on a note by the end of the year would be rather appropriate.
