B is for Behn, Aphra Behn.
Aphra Behn, some would say the first novelist, for writing her entertaining tale of the noble savage, ORONOOKO.
Certainly Aphra Behn was the first woman professional playwright. She was English, she grew up in the West Indies, she served as a spy in the Netherlands.
She never got paid, so she turned to writing.
With her friend Dryden, she was the most successful, prolific, and wittiest playwright of her day. Just look at her fun comedy THE ROVER (1677), set during Carnival in a Spanish colony in the 1600's.
