Aphra Behn

Aphra Behn was the first English woman to earn her living as a professional writer — playwright, poet, and novelist — and one of the most prolific dramatists of the Restoration period. Her plays, including The Rover (1677) and The Lucky Chance (1686), are among the wittiest and most theatrically alive of the period, and her novella Oroonoko (1688) is one of the earliest works in English to treat the enslavement of Africans with moral seriousness. Her background is partly mysterious: she may have been a government spy in Antwerp during the Second Anglo-Dutch War.
