Summary:
"Der Beruf der Sekretärin eröffnete Frauen eine neue Welt, den Weg in ein eigenständiges Leben. Karriere zu machen und im Vorzimmer der Macht zu sitzen, war für viele ein Traumberuf und entsprach dem Lebensgefühl des Wirtschaftswunders. Annegret Braun erzählt anhand von erstmals veröffentlichten Tagebüchern, wie der Alltag der Sekretärinnen aussah und wovon sie träumten. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei Doris, eine Zugsekretärin in modernen Fernzügen"--Back cover.
"The job of secretary opened up a new world for women, the way to an independent life. For many, having a career and sitting in the anteroom of power was a dream job and corresponded to the attitude to life during the economic miracle. Using diaries published for the first time, Annegret Braun tells what the everyday life of secretaries was like and what they dreamed of. The focus is on Doris, a train secretary on modern long-distance trains"--English translation of back cover.
