Kay Rex (Interviewer)

Oral history interview with Simonne Daigneault, journalist and former member of the Canadian Women's Press Club (CWPC), conducted by journalist Kay Rex during the research phase of her publication "No Daughter of Mine : The Women and History of the Canadian Women's Press Club 1904-1971". While discussing the history of the CWPC in the 40s and 50s, Daigneault recalls her term as national president of the Press Club during which she visited various branches in Western Canada where she found much apathy towards Quebec and bilingualism; the political climate of Quebec in the early years of Lévesque's rise to power; and the breakaway French group of the Montreal CWPC branch which formed its own club, Le cercle des femmes journalistes.
