100 years ago - secretaries were men. Society was not sure women could do a satisfactory job as a secretary. That was when skirts were floor length though...

Thank God for the change in secretary gender and the miniskirt, I say!

That was not always the case. G.K. Chesterton was not big on female secretaries because he thought they would give the job too MUCH attention and take it much too seriously.
Pope Leo XIII (late 19th century) was not big on mixed-sex environments in the workplace, as it had the propensity to break up marriages. (Hmmmm... has a female secretary ever broken up a marriage?)
