Ep 77 - Westminster - Aphra Benn; scandal, spy and scribe

Heading back to the 1600s, we take a look at the intriguing, mysterious Aphra Benn, the first female English professional writer with an extra little secret to her story. We find out what makes her so interesting, why it is we know so little about her life, and how a stint in the Netherlands ended her up in a bit of hot water!
