The Green Lady: A Spirit, A Story, A Place

Sally Bayley

2023

The Green Lady (2023) is a tribute to Sally Bayley’s grandmother, Edna May Turner, who helped to care for Sally and her large family and who was distantly related to the painter JMW Turner (1775-1851).

In this 3rd part of her autobiographical trilogy, Sally Bayley also tells the story of formative influences from social worker & suffragist Mary Neal to actor Margaret Rutherford (1892-1972) and poet Stevie Smith (1902-1971). These women became a source of inspiration for the young Sally Bayley, providing ideas about how to live a different life.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group.
