Margaret Scott WATSON (aka Watson-Sloss) [1910-????]
Primary tabs
Margaret Watson, a graduate of the London School of Economics, came to Hong Kong in July 1939 to become the Colony's first Medical Social Worker.
She was a friend of Hilda Selwyn-Clarke, and, like her, one of Hong Kong's small group of British leftists. When Mrs Selwyn-Clarke and her daughter were sent to Stanley camp in May 1943, Watson moved to Bungalow D to share a small room with them.
On April 4, 1949 she married Hong Kong University Vice Chancellor Duncan Sloss. The couple moved to Oxford on Sloss's retirement and she became an academic librarian. After her husband's death she became a lecturer in sociology and social policy, Deputy Director of the Oxford Samaritans and Chair of the Community Health Council.
