Welcome to today's episode, where we dive into the daring and double life of Aphra Behn, the first Englishwoman to support herself through her writing — and perhaps the most intriguing spy of the 17th century. Imagine being a playwright whose biting satires thrilled Restoration audiences, all while secretly working as a government agent, risking your life in the shadows of international intrigue!
Aphra’s journey from a mysterious birth to becoming a literary sensation — all while slipping through the cracks of society’s expectations for women — is one of courage, defiance, and wit. Stay tuned as we uncover how she maneuvered through a male-dominated world, using her pen and her cunning to not only survive but thrive!
