Aphra Behn (née Johnson)
b. 7-10-1640; England
d. 4-16-1689
Alphra Behn is considered to be one the first woman to earn a living by writing in England. Aphra Behn's protagonists reflect her own passion for life, a spirit which led her to write in a letter to a male colleague: "All I ask is the privilege... to tread in those successful paths my predecessors have so long thrived in ... If I must not because of my sex, have this freedom, but that you will usurp all to yourselves; I lay down my quill and you shall have no more of me."

Fanny (Frances) Burney
b. 6-13-1752; England
d. 1-6-1840
Fanny Burney, Jane Austen's favorite author, exposed the image-conscious and social snobbery of urban England with a sense of the comic. Burney was also friends with art patroness and diarist Hester Thrale who fell out of Burney's favor with Hester "remarried beneath" her.
