Vanessa Redgrave: Mature Jenny

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Mature Jenny : [narrating]  Though we were only in our early 20s, little more than girls, we served the women of the East End in their hour of greatest need. In return for our care, they gave us the most precious gift they could: their trust. This made us brave and tireless. And in the main, we did not doubt ourselves, because we were not doubted. But we were not invincible. There were times when we faced challenges and choices of our own.

• Mature Jenny : [narrating]  Some might call it confidence, others name it faith. But if it makes us brave, the label doesn't matter, for it's the thing that frees us to embrace life itself.
