Who want to be part of a short film in #westminsterabby laying flowers on tomb on Astraea ? #AphraBehn #eccentric #crossdressing #lesbian #playwright #spy leader of #slaverebellions in 1660’s - laying flowers on the tomb of #astraea #AphraBehn - Everything about Astrea’s short life of 49 years 1640-1689, reads like the #movieplot of a #Hollywoodblockbuster I have been researching #aphrabehn all my life - No wonder #VirginiaWoolf urged all women to #layflowers upon her #tomb #WestminsterAbbey - hailed as the world’s #firstcelebrity #writer though initially she became a household name for leading a #slaverebellion in the #Dutch #slaveport of Surinam on the N.E. coast of South America. At the time she facilitated the #slaverebellion she was working as a #secretagent 160, codename “Astrea” for the #StuartCrown. As a fluent Dutch & French Speaker she had taken over the job meant for her father Who had died on the ship transporting the family to Surinam. In 1662 when news reached England of her defiance in leading an uprising of slaves, it captured the imagination of women across the kingdom who had long been the #chattels of men. At the time women outnumbered the male population by 3 - 2 as a result of the Civil War Cromwell’s #puritan #inquisition #burning & hanging crossdressing #women & #gaymen & #ethniccleansing the #Welsh #Cornish & #Irish resulting in the deaths of 20% of the male population. Astrea’s stories of the cruelty of enslaved Africans, moved the women & men of the #Restoration deeply. With a #crossdressing lesbian #Queen on the throne famous for popularising #tea #Women of Britain were coming out of the shadows into the #spotlight for the first time in history & Astrea was their figurehead. Aphra’s youth & beauty & wit only added to the fascination of this extraordinary woman before she became the first person in history to earn their living solely through writing. fun fact mr Behn the Dutch Merchant she claimed to marry never Existed. invented as a secret cover when she was #spying in Antwerp ⚜️ Who would like to be part of the #Flashmob ?
