Kay Rex (Interviewer)

Oral history interview with Florence King Blackwell, public relations writer 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 the CWPC, Blackwell talks about her aunt Florence Burford Steiner, an advertising writer and early member of the Toronto branch, her own membership in the Ottawa branch from 1941 to 1944, and the forming of the French branch in Montreal, "Le cercle des femmes journalistes", which she later joined becoming the group's "token anglaise". She also remembers some of the French members, namely Renaude Lapointe, Jeanne Sauvé, Solange Chaput-Roland, and Lily Tasso.
