Introduction: out of the kitchen and into the office : the birth of the secretary
So you want to be a secretary : preparing for and getting a job
You're in the office now, miss sec : the fine arts of charm, etiquette, and getting along with others
Your boss : his care and (ego) feeding
Single secs, married secs, and the looming shadow of the office wife
Around the desk we go : the murky world of love and sex in the office
Stepping stone or millstone? : up the ladder and out of the steno pool
Get your own damn coffee : the liberated secretary
The space-age typing pool : the secretary and technology
Epilogue
the virtual secretary in a paperless office, or, we've come a long way; maybe?.
