Nordquist, Olive (audio interview #1 of 4)

INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION - This is the first of three rather lengthy interviews with Olive Nordquist, conducted in her home in Redondo Beach. Her home and dress both reflected her range of interests, activities and mechanical skills, with washing machines and other applicances in various rooms, that she was repairing. When I first contacted Nordquist to arrange the interview, her daughter answered the phone. It turned out that she was someone I had known in the early days of the women's liberation movement in Los Angeles. Nordquist spoke very slowly and it was difficult to draw her out. Her answers were almost relatively short and to the point. Nevertheless, she was cooperative and helpful and after the interview checked with her sister about some of their family history. 8/13/1980
