Aphra Behn, one of the most underrated literary icons of the 17th century, was celebrated in an exhibit showcasing her pioneering contributions to literature and feminism.
Aphra's writing challenged gender roles with provocative themes of female freedom and sensuality, often provoking disapproval from her contemporary audiences during The Restoration era.
The exhibit at The Beaney included interactive tasks and storytelling through writing displays that provided an engaging experience about Aphra Behn's legacy and significance.
Through her bold narratives, particularly in 'Oroonoko', Behn critiqued political and social issues such as racial discrimination and colonialism, marking her as a significant literary figure.
