However, any student studying twentieth century literature will be aware of her work. Her most brilliant novel, 'Wide Sargasso *■ -x Sea', is a popular stage I text. Rhys, whose real name was Gwen Williams, began 'Wide Sargasso Sea' when she was sixty- seven years of age. It took her nearly ten years to "Voted Top Salons 7 - complete.

It is the story Metro readers CAROLE ANGIER WmSmm of Mrs Rochester, the mad wife in Charlotte Bronte's 'Jane Eyre', but it is also the story of Jean Rhys herself. In many ways though, Jean Rhys was quite unlike her modern, independent heroines.

You may remember reading about the Daikon Shield, an IUD banned from the US in 1374 after causing serious uterine infections in more than 200,000 American women, 17 of * whom died. The manufacturer of the Shield then sold the device to overseas population control programmes (India, Asian, some Pacific Er African countries) rather than recall them. The Shields were sold at 48% discount in bulk packages, unsterilized, with only 1 set of instructions per 1000 shields and ten inserters provided per 100 shields, making infection almost unavoidable. Eventually A .H . Robbins was forced to recall K the contraceptive device, however, half of the 700,000 shields distributed were never recovered! Women are still suffering irreversible damage to their bodies and their children's because of tiffs greed and selfishness. The story doesn't stop here unfortunately. Today there is a 'revised' version of the Daikon is _ c ^ Shield being marketed called the Multiload, this time in Europe. The Multiload keeps the same ’i m c shape and the 5 spikes along each side that were J mZ, t N » « « * so effective in keeping the shield in place. But to avoid lodging into the cervical canal (which is what the Shield often did) the Multiload was made with flexible arms. Already women have found that the arms now tend to lever into the uterine wall and break off when the device is removed. The pieces are then very hard to find. The irony is tragic, because like the Daikon Shield the Multiload is being touted as completely safe. The opposite is being proved ■ S S K S K S ® 1" again at the expense of women, - their bodies, their lives, and their children. It seems that women are expendable when it comes to profit making.
