Jeanne Goosen (13 July 1938 – 3 June 2020) was a South African journalist, poet and writer.
In We are not all like that, (translated into English by André Brink) life is illuminated by a white family from the lower middle class in the fifties, which gets involved in all sorts of problems.
The appearance caused a stir in South Africa because of the attention it drew to the existence of 'poor white'.
Through her conversations with her philosophically inclined brother Daantjie Dreamer, she comes to new insights about political matters and she is aware of her own identity.
[citation needed] Goosen died 3 June 2020, in Melkbosstrand, near Cape Town.
