Take Miss Smith

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

What is a secretary? To some people she's purely for decoration - about as worthy of consideration as the filing cabinet. To others she's a vital part of the management team.
Linda Blandford looks at the secretary's role, past, present and future. Is she an underintelleetually endowed job-hopper, or is she held back by bosses who couldn'cope if she moved onward and upward?
BARONESS FALKENDER, secretary to Mr Wilson for 17 years, talks about her work; personnel manager IRENE LINDEN discusses the need of major employers; and CAROL BLAYMIRE urges secretaries to use the power at their fingertips.
