== Life and career ==
Sarah Jane Rees was born at Llangrannog in Cardiganshire, the daughter of a mariner John Rees, and received her early education at the village school. After working briefly as a dressmaker, she studied navigation at one of several schools in New Quay that specialised in the subject.
In 1865, competing at Aberystwyth against men such as William Thomas (Islwyn), she won her first major Eisteddfod prize, for "Y Fodrwy Briodasal (The Wedding Ring)", in the "song" category.〔(Obituary, ''The Cambrian'' ). Accessed 16 Sept 2014〕 A book of poems, ''Caniadau Cranogwen,'' followed this victory, in 1870.〔Phil Carradice, ("Sarah Jane Rees, Schoolteacher and Poet" ) BBC Wales blog (25 April 2013).〕 In addition to teaching navigation (which she had learned from her father) and other subjects, she became editor of the Welsh-language women's periodical ''Y Frythones'' (1878–1889), a "platform for Welsh bluestockings and proto-suffragettes." 〔(Geraint H. Jenkins, ''A Concise History of Wales'' (Cambridge University Press 2007): 220. )〕〔"(Welsh Women Writers (1700-2000) )," in John T. Koch, ed., ''Celtic Culture: A Historical Encyclopedia'' (ABC-CLIO 2006): 1787.〕
Rees lived with her friend Jane Thomas in a romantic friendship in their hometown.〔(Russell Davies, ''Hope and Heartbreak: A Social History of Wales, 1776-1871'' ) (University of Wales Press 2005): 320.〕 Open about her unconventional domestic arrangement, Rees was nonetheless a committed Methodist, and toured giving lectures on education, temperance and other subjects. In 1869-1870, she toured the United States, addressing mainly Welsh immigrant communities as far West as California.〔(David Hughes, ''Welsh People in California, 1849-1906'' ) (R & E Research Associates 1969): 119.〕 She was one of the founders of the South Wales Women's Temperance Union (UDMD), when it formed in 1901.〔(Deirdre Beddoe, ''Out of the Shadows: A History of Women in Twentieth-Century Wales'' ) (University of Wales Press 2000): 38.〕
