Aphra Behn: born July 1640, Harbledown?, Kent, Eng. died April 16, 1689, London English dramatist, novelist, and poet, the first Englishwoman known to earn her living by writing. Her early life is obscure (as is her original surname), but she spent most of it in South America. She married a merchant named Behn in 1658; he died in the mid 1660s.
