1960 Learning Learns Manual Massive Typewriters Typing Secretarial
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young woman immersed in the process of learning to type at a secretarial school in the 1960s. Seated at a massive manual typewriter, she is focused on mastering this essential skill for her future career. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when typewriters were the primary tool for written communication and office work.
The scene is filled with historical significance as it showcases the dedication and determination of young women who sought to enter the workforce as skilled secretaries. The clacking sound of keys being pressed, the distinct smell of ink on paper, and the rhythmic movements required to operate such a machine are all brought to life in this photograph.
As she diligently practices her typing skills, one can imagine the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes with each correctly typed word. This image serves as a reminder of how far technology has advanced since then, yet also highlights the importance of foundational skills like typing that remain relevant today.
Overall, this print beautifully captures a moment in time when learning to type was an essential part of preparing for a career in communications or administration. It is a testament to both the past struggles and triumphs of women entering traditionally male-dominated fields.
