Dress for success. And dont let your heels trip you up on the corporate ladder.Millions of women have held the position of secretary, alternately lauded as a breakthrough opportunity and excoriated as dead-end busy work. From the female pioneers who infiltrated Capitol Hill offices during the Civil War to todays tech-savvy administrative assistants, secretaries have withstood criticism for abandoning their rightful sphere (the home), weathered the dubious advice of secretarial guide-books, taken hits from feminists and antifeminists alike, and demanded the right to resist making coffee-all while making their bosses look good.In Swimming in the Steno Pool, author-secretary Lynn Peril profiles the various incarnations of the secretary, from pliable, sexy mate of the \"office husband\" to postfeminist executive-in-training, drawing inspiration from a wide range of \"femorabilia\" and secretarial guidebooks of yesteryear. Featuring an array of fabulous illustrations promoting office equipment and office girls alike, Peril delivers a feisty, witty celebration of the women whove been running the show for decades. 42 black-and-white illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51855855223072,"sku":"NEW0393338541","price":30.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71eQBUswDbL.jpg?v=1781542639","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/swimming-in-the-steno-pool-a-retro-guide-to-making-it-in-the-office-0393338541","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
