Early life and careerShe was born in the village of Trefor, Gwynedd, near Llanberis, close to where her father's family owned a woollen mill. Her mother was a cousin of the prominent minister and writer John John Roberts, known as "Iolo Caernarfon".[2] After an education at Dolbadarn Primary School and Swansea Training College, she worked as a schoolteacher, eventually becoming head of the school at Dolbadarn which she had attended as a child. In 1881 she married the Rev William (or Williams) Jones.[1] His ministry was at Four Crosses, where she was involved in organising the local Temperance Union. In 1893, she also became a governor of Pwllheli County School.[4] Literary careerThe earliest of her poems in print were published in 1874, and by 1880 she was recognised as a poet, journalist and contributor to many periodicals.[3] As "Ceridwen Peris", Jones wrote regularly for Welsh-language periodicals, including Y Frythones (edited by Sarah Jane Rees ("Cranogwen") and Y Traethodydd.[4] She also wrote, spoke and campaigned on behalf of the women's temperance movement. She became editor of the Welsh-language periodical Y Gymraes ("The Welshwoman") from 1896, when the publication (founded in response to the Treason of the Blue Books) was revived.[5] In 1901, the magazine established worthwhile links with the trade union movement, that helped to increase its circulation. Sometime before 1917 she translated Alice Williams' play into Welsh and as a result Alice was made a bard at the 1917 Eisteddfod in Birkenhead.[6] She gave up the editorship of Y Gymraes in 1919, when her husband retired from the ministry and the couple relocated to Criccieth.[1] In 1921, she was awarded the OBE.[4] She died, aged 90, at her daughter's home in Bangor, and her papers were donated to Bangor University.[7] Works
