	The Mediadrome - Poems of the Week: Aphra Behn
		At the time, the practice was that if a play ran for three days, the income for the third day belonged to the author: Aphra thus received two days takings for this run, and this appears to have been the first payment to a woman for writing, certainly in England.
		The first woman writer, so far as we know, was probably Sappho, in approximately 612 BCE, and some of her poems, or at least fragments of them, have been quoted here before.
		The modern edition of her Rime contains 390 poems: 141 love poems, most written between 1526 and the early 1530's; 217 spiritual poems, mostly from the 1530s and 1540s; and 32 epistolary poems.

		By the 1540s, Serlio shows Dürer's exact construction [Serlio 1996: 29]; yet as late as 1569, Barbaro shows only Dürer's approximate construction [Barbaro 1569: 27].
		Whereas the exact construction leads to the extreme and mean ratio, the approximate construction does not.
