Aphra Behn

    July 10, 1640 – April 16, 1689

    Aphra Behn was a prominent Restoration dramatist and one of the first professional female English writers, contributing significantly to the amatory fiction genre. Her entire career is deemed more important than any single work, as she earned women the right to express themselves. Behn is often compared to George Sand for her bohemian lifestyle and her ability to write compellingly in an era where literature often catered to the basest human inclinations, demanding she write like a man to succeed.
