Women's Day: Aphra Behn

 Homage to Aphra Behn on Women's Day, 8th of March 2022

Virginia Woolf said of her in a Room of  One's Own: 

"All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn,  for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds."

"Now, here in back, like I said, is DISCOVERIES AND REVELATIONS or maybe ILLUMINATIONS,that's a swell word, or INTUITIONS okay? In other words   you do an old familiar thing, like bottling dandelion wine, and you put that under RITES AND CEREMONIES.  And then you think about it, and what you think, crazy or not, you put under DISCOVERIES AND REVELATIONS. Here's what I got on the wine: Every time you bottle it, you got a whole chunk of 1928 put away, safe. How you like that, Tom?"

"I'm going to divide the summer up in two parts.  First part of this tablet is titled: RITES AND CEREMONIES. The first time running barefoot in the grass of the year. First time almost drowning in the lake of the year.  First watermelon. First mosquito. First harvest of dandelions.  There are the things we do over and over and never think."   ("Dandelion Wine" by Ray Bradbury)
