Freda Bream
Patricia Freda Whale (26 May 1918 – 2 June 1996), best known by the pen name Freda Bream, was a teacher and writer who was born in Christchurch, New Zealand.
== Life ==
Bream completed an arts degree at university, before doing a year's teacher training that left her "with a fixed resolve that teaching was not for me".〔(Clerical Detectives website )〕 She instead worked in a wide variety of jobs, including serving in the army and working as a charwoman, factory hand, waitress, cook, and postwoman. She also got married and had two sons. Then, almost by accident, she returned to teaching after a 20-year gap. She ended up as Senior Mistress at Morrinsvale College.〔(Ibid )〕 In her later years she wrote crime fiction, and finished up her life in a retirement village - an experience she didn't particularly enjoy.〔(Coming of Age booklet - Presbyterian NZ website )〕
In an article published in the ''New Zealand Herald'' in 1991, she wrote of missing contact with other age groups – the girl next door, the man across the road, the people in local shops. The reality of mixing with those in the village was constant exposure and reminders of the health changes in ageing. “‘I find myself soaking in a pool of unhappiness. Life becomes increasingly sad as you age.” She questioned whether relieving older people of physical work, mental strain and decision-making is a good idea and suggested that people should think about such things when planning for their future.〔(Ibid )〕
