Two-part oral history interview with Gladys Arnold, veteran journalist and former member of the Canadian Women's Press Club (CWPC) conducted by Canadian writer Kay Rex during the research phase of her publication entitled "No Daughter of Mine : The Women and History of the Canadian Women's Press Club 1904-1971". In her recollections about her distinguished career in journalism and her affiliation with the CWPC, Arnold talks about the following: her first appointment on the Regina Leader-Post in 1929 reporting mostly on social problems besetting Western Canada at the beginning of the Depression; the forming of the CWPC Regina branch in 1933 with Kay Kritzwiser, Helen Beattie Palmer and other reporters on the Leader-Post; her assignment as Paris correspondent for the Canadian Press in the late 1930s; her escape from Paris hours before the German occupation in 1940, and her interview in London with French General Charles de Gaulle before returning to Ottawa where she volunteered as information officer for de Gaulle's Free French movement; the controversy over her award of the French Chevalier of the Legion of Honor for her wartime services to France. She also comments on the significance of the Canadian Women's Press Club to women journalism in Canada.
