Aphra Behn (1640 – 1689), Canterbury’s daughter, was the first professional woman writer in English. Historian Breeze Barrington, author of The Graces , in conversation with Professor Elaine Hobby, explores the court circle of the 1680s, shedding light on how women like Aphra used literature, music and art to challenge men’s power – and how men pushed back. In partnership with the Aphra Behn Society
