I didn’t know that. Leave it up to a woman to invent it though. Don’t remember ever seeing a guy do any typing back then.

I do remember during the early 1980’s one of the secretaries in our office was going to be out for several weeks so the regional personnel office got a really great temp to fill in. Typed 120 wpm without error, super organized, had all kinds of awards from the secretarial school, etc. Only one problem it was a guy. My boss had a fit and fired him. Said “only a guy who was gay would even want to be a secretary”. Pretty funny looking back, particularly since many of us thought my boss was a closet gay.
