Description

The story of Valarie Monkhouse’s journeys around the world and a remarkable professional career. At age three, Valerie sailed from England to Shanghai, China, with her parents. By the time she arrived in Canada at sixteen, she had sailed around the world and lived in Japan, New Zealand, and England. In 1948, she started working part-time in the University of New Brunswick library, starting a journey that ended up with her being the first Director of Library Services for the National Museums of Canada. In the fall of 1950, Valerie met Andrew (Ben), who she married three years later. This journey lasted sixty-six years and produced two sons, four grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and many happy memories. Through Valerie’s journeys, we get an insight into the life and struggles of a woman growing up in the 1930s and 1940s, raising her family in the 1950s and 1960s, achieving professional success in the 1970s and 1980s, and enjoying her retirement, travelling and with her family. This book was started by Valerie sharing her story and completed by her sons Peter and Duncan after her death in 2022.
