Dominic, I highly recommend starting with Behn's plays. The Rover and The Lucky Chance are fun to rea--with strong female protagonists and fast-moving stories. Behn's poetry is also quite good. See you tomorrow at the party.

I'd love to read of a Suffragettes' Tea Party, perhaps.<br /><br />I really enjoyed Charlotte Bronte's character of "Shirley". In university we were given to believe this was one of the first feminist novels(you may have far more information on that subject than I). I did admire the character's strength and refusal to marry just any character who came along and proposed.<br /><br />I shall look forward to part II.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this piece.<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.com
