She may have been the child of the Amis family who, together with their child “Ayfara” or “Aphra” went to Suriname in South America in the 1650s. The second possibility is that she was the daughter of the barber Bartholomew Johnson who also went to Suriname in 1663 with his family.

	She returned to England in the following year and married a merchant named Behn.

	As mentioned before, Behn was a professional author writing to earn her living, which means that she was oriented towards the literary market and the taste of the audience. She produced very different kinds of ~~genre~~. Behn’s first plays were two tragicomedies called ''The Forced Marriage'', produced in 1670 and ''The Amorous Prince'' in 1671 . Afterwards followed ''The Dutch Lover'' and possibly three more plays before she wrote her tragedy, ''Abdelazer'', which was performed in 1676 . Thereafter she preferred writing ~~light~~ comedy and farce, like ''The Rover''. Her last play was ''The Emperor of the Moon'', which was performed in 1687.
