Women of the 70s

As working professionals there were built-in biases against women that they were unaware of for most of the 70s...many of them wondered why they weren't advancing as quickly as their male counterparts...

Working women were simply there...as secretaries (to men who did the important work), as receptionists, and the like.

I remember taking the secretarial course in high school ('cause my friends did)...where I was introduced to a mysterious phenomenon called shorthand...

Fortunately, it wasn't in the Tarot cards for me.

I'm convinced I could have singularly started ww3 through my ineptness in the mysteries of translating shorthand hieroglyphics.
