[4] She was initially educated in her local village by an old schoolmaster called Hugh Davies, who taught her both Latin and astronomy.[1][2] She later attended school in both Cardigan and New Quay, and for a time studied at a navigation school in London,[2] where she gained her master's certificate, a qualification allowing her to command a ship in any part of the world.[5] In 1859 Sarah Jane set up her own navigation school in her home village of Llangrannog.[6] CareerIn 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.[2] A book of poems, Caniadau Cranogwen, followed this victory, in 1870.[7] In addition to teaching navigation 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."[8][9] Rees had two significant same-sex relationships, previously described as a romantic friendship.[10] Her first was with Fanny Rees, a milliner's daughter from Troedyraur, near LLangrannog. Fanny contracted tuberculosis and returned to Wales around 1874 to die. She moved into Rees' home rather than that of her family, and died in her arms. So affected was Rees that for 12 years she was unable to put flowers on Fanny's grave, and she commemorated Fanny in one of her best-known poems, Fy Ffrynd (My Friend).[11] Her second relationship was with Jane Thomas, with whom she spent most of her life. 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.[12] She was one of the founders of the South Wales Women's Temperance Union (UDMD), when it formed in 1901.[13] LegacyRees died at Cilfynydd[14] and was buried in the churchyard at St. Crannogs, her grave marked by a large and elaborate obelisk.[15][16] A shelter for homeless women and girls named "Lletty Cranogwen" was founded in the Rhondda valley in 1922, by the South Wales Women's Temperance Union, and named in memory of Rees' work to improve Welsh women's lives.[1][17] In 2019 she was among the five women short-listed as the subject for an artwork to be installed in Cardiff.[18] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web| url=https://biography.wales/article/s-REES-JAN-1839 |work=Welsh Biography Online|title=Rees, Sarah Jane|accessdate=31 January 2016}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://newspapers.library.wales/view/3413322/3413327/44/Cranogwen|title=Noted Welshwoman: Death of Cranogwen|accessdate=1 January 2016|date=30 June 1916|publisher=The Cambrian News}} 3. ^John (1991), p.80 4. ^ Shopland, Norena 'Cranogwen' from Forbidden Lives: LGBT stories from Wales Seren Books (2017) 5. ^Deirdre Beddoe: "Rees, Sarah Jane..."
