Description
Virginia Woolf wrote that “All women together ought to let flowers fall on the tomb of Aphra Behn… for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds.” We’ll be letting our metaphorical flowers fall for England’s first professional female writer, Behn, in this episode with guest Dr. Sarah Raff, an associate professor of English at California’s Pomona College. Learn more about the Restoration era author’s progressive views on motherhood, marriage, and sexual politics as well as her intriguing personal history as we discuss her Tarantino-esque novel The History of a Nun or The Fair Vow Breaker.For episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
