Scope and content
The item consists of an audio interview with Christine McNab recorded in Victoria B.C. on August 9, 1983.
Tape summary:
Track 1: Christine McNab lived with her mother in a home provided by B.C. Tel in Saanich in 1920. Describes home, had to pump the water into the washroom tanks. She and her mother lived alone and ran telephone office, hired 8 other women. Went to Girls' Central and was taught by Miss Juniper. Was not impressed by anything she took, although says she did try the recipes out at home. At Normal School they took "Nature Study" and had garden plots, "a psychological garden". The classes there were not mixed. Summer jobs included filing, gardening and picking fruit. Teaching salaries dropped during the Depression, married women could not teach, and they were not allowed to have "bobbed" hair. Didn't think many of the classes in Normal School were very practical. Her first principal was a woman, she was shocked when she met her and she was wearing slacks!
Track 2: Church activities, organizational activities, worked for IODE and Teachers' Federation and Teachers' Association (fairly political). Worked for wages and working condition improvements.
