(Sarah Jane Rees [pseud. Cranogwen]; sailor, schoolmistress, and poet, was born on 9 January 1839 at Dolgoy Fach, a cottage some 2½ miles from the coastal village of Llangrannog on Cardigan Bay, from which she took her bardic name, Cranogwen; she spent two years as a sailor aboard her father's ketch, which travelled between the ports of Wales, England, and France; Cranogwen was passionately devoted to education throughout her life; following her time at sea and her continued education, she returned to Llangrannog, where from 1860 to 1866 she ran the old school at Pontgarreg; during her years as a schoolmistress, she turned her attention to writing poetry; in 1866 she gave up the school at Pontgarreg to concentrate on a new career as a lecturer and preacher; she travelled extensively throughout Wales and made two American lecture tours (1869 and 1888); in 1879 Cranogwen became the first woman ever to edit a Welsh-language women's magazine, when she brought out Y Frythones, which she edited until 1889; temperance had always been an issue close to Cranogwen's heart and in 1901 she founded Undeb Dirwestol Merched y De (South Wales women's temperance union); she died at the home of her niece, 50 Wood Street, Cilfynydd, Pontypridd, on 27 June 1916)
