OverviewWhat was it like to be a secretary in the 1970s? Drawing on the reminiscences of more than 60 women, this book describes their everyday working lives from Telex to Tippex, their aspirations, frustrations and achievements. It looks too at how they were seen in the popular media and by feminist writers and considers the accuracy of these portrayals. What emerges is a more nuanced picture, one that is revealing, authentic and amusing, and is a vivid evocation of those times. This book is a must for anyone with an interest in women's social history as well as for former secretaries and office workers. Sarah Shaw worked as a secretary in London throughout the 1970s. Her 'Secret Diary of a 1970s Secretary' was published by Collins in 2016.
