Aphra Behn wasn’t just the first Englishwoman to earn a living with her pen—she was a spy, a subversive, and a survivor in a world that wanted women silent. Behind her Restoration comedies and daring satires was a double life of danger and deception, as she slipped across borders and between allegiances, working as an agent for the Crown.

Born in mystery, raised in defiance, Aphra navigated the male-dominated underworld of both politics and literature with sharpened wit and quiet fury. She seduced, she provoked, she vanished into coded letters and veiled threats—and then emerged on stage, her words igniting scandal and applause.

Join Keith as he uncovers the thrilling life of Aphra Behn—a woman who used every weapon she had: her mind, her charm, and when necessary, her silence.

This isn’t just the story of a writer. It’s the story of a woman who refused to disappear.
