The Queen unveils the Aphra Benn statue in Canterbury

It was a pleasure to welcome Her Majesty The Queen to Canterbury to unveil a statue of the 17th century playwright and poet Aphra Behn in the City Centre.

 

Aphra Behn, known as the Daughter of Canterbury, was one of the first English women to earn a living through her writing, becoming a literary role model for generations of female authors.
