Plays by Aphra Behn, performed by the Duke’s Company, were published in England in the 1670s, making her one of the first female authors to earn a living by writing.
The explanation says that the pronoun 'her' cannot refer to 'Aphra Behn' because it is not the subject of the sentence (it’s the object of the preposition “by”) and thus there is an antecedent reference issue in the sentence.
I am somehow NOT convinced with the explanation. Can the experts please help me underlying rule for the same.
