Oral history interview by Canadian author Judith Finlayson with Sharon Fraser in Halifax, Nova Scotia about her work history in nursing and journalism. She recalls her years as a nurse in Montreal and the discriminatory practices she witnessed and experienced during her work.

Then she discusses her experience as a radio announcer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Fredericton, doing public relations and contract work in current affairs; her move to Prince Edward Island where she was made editor of the Atlantic Fisherman; her move to Halifax where she was offered editorship of the Atlantic Insight, a general interest magazine; and finally, her current work as a freelance writer and broadcaster.
