Let Them Call it Jazz and Other Stories by Jean Rhys
This title contains three short stories by Jean Rhys, "Let Them Call it Jazz", "Outside the Machine" and "The Insect World", all of which portray young women alone.
Jean Rhys was born in Dominica in 1894. Coming to England aged 16, she drifted into various jobs before starting to write in the late 1920's. Her novels, often portraying women as underdogs out to exploit their sexualities, were ahead of their timeand only modestly successful. Partly autobiographical, VOYAGE IN THE DARK was first published in 1934. From 1939 she lived reclusively, and was largely forgotten when she made a sensational comeback with 'Wide Sargasso Sea' in 1966. She died in 1979.
