Scope and content
The item consists of an audio interview with Clare McAllister recorded in Victoria, B.C. on May 27, 1983.
Tape summary:
Track 1: Clare McAllister was born in Nelson, B.C. in 1906. Lived in the town of Nelson, and also had a summer home camp on the lake. Mother had a minor health problem therefore all laundry was sent to steam laundry, and female helpers were hired to help with the household chores. Describes the house she lived in as a child. Mainly the kitchen and some of the appliances in it. She took domestic science in Nelson in entrance class. Remembers the controversy in the town over teaching domestic sciences -- an insult to mothers and a waste of money.
Track 2: Clare McAllister remembers mainly the sewing classes and very little about the cooking classes in school, however there were no boys in the classes. Classes were compulsory and taken once a week. She talks about female roles -- they were not taught or discussed, just assumed. Set up her own home when she was first married in Sydney, Cape Breton. Remembers people being much more destitute there.
