Jean Rhys - Women Writers: Voices in Transition (3/4)
Steve Padley re-examines the life and works of post-colonial novelist and short story writer Jean Rhys, author of ‘Wide Sargasso Sea’ and ‘Good Morning Midnight’.
Taken from a four part series examining the lives, work and influence of women writers: Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys, Katherine Mansfield and Jeanette Winterson. ‘Women Writers: Voices in Transition’ looks at how writing and reputation are often forged in transition, uncertainty and change.

I loved this video, thank you!
I am so glad Jean Rhys is never forgotten, I love her since the seventies and her first novels are my favorites too. It's strange to include her into the feminists because she really hated women and wrote it many times, but she was such an independent mind that it could be a model for women. Thank you!
I wonder if this was because women of her time in her life hated her first, (wasn't she rejected by "proper" society?i bet women largely did the rejecting) and she took her revenge in her writing.
This is what she decribed herself.
Amazing how someone who couldn’t poach an egg for herself could also hold an entire book in her head and write with such steel.
Jean Rhys is one of Dominica’s greatest exports. And it’s pronounced Dom-mee-NEE-ka.
Thank you for this thoughtfullness, my thoughts echo yours, but I would add one word - a voice for the voiceless "women" outsiders.
very true Good Morning Midnight drips with being pushed to the edge
@@GK-rc4oc very good point never really thought about it like that . and to add the abandonment that follows in many of those awe inspiring 30s novels of hers
i read the end of good morning midnight in a launderette in the 80s i remember shouting out in shock
the voice of real life

Odd thing to say about a premier-league pisshead that left her baby to die whilst off swigging champagne, and couldn’t even poach an egg.
@@kelman727 and that isn't real life?
You think real life only lies in the perfect little heterosexual home in perfect little suburb?
It's so much more.

I rather doubt leaving your children to die of neglect is part of most people’s lives; and since I never mentioned anyone’s sexual orientation...
...why bother to bring it up, except to puff up an argument you knew was feeble?
