Today I'm opening a book that isn't on any bookshelf: the one that is written with every page that transforms us. We travel the world in search of new stories, because reading is crossing borders without a passport. And every story is a cultural compass.

If you remember yesterday's episode, I talked about the treatment of women in new literary, but especially psychiatric movements. Today I'm bringing this to literature, through the work of Jean Rhys, an author who combines her Anglo-Caribbean cultural diversity with the situation of women in her time.
