| Summary |
Madmen exec Don Draper ‘s secretary would have surely found this volume a handy study guide for her secretarial exams at the Katie Gibb’s school. Gregg shorthand, a form of stenography invented by John Robert Gregg in 1888, is completely based on elliptical figures and the lines that bisect them. This form of stenography is still the most popular form of pen stenography in the United States today. With the invention of shorthand machines and the practice of executives writing their own letters on personal computers, the use of shorthand has gradually declined and with it the need for such unusual editions. As you thumb through this charming record of cultural history, allow yourself to travel back in time as you discover the skill set needed for women in the business world in the mid 20th-century and imagine, nay, appreciate the changing moods and social mores of America over the past several decades. Lewis Carroll’s Alice has come a long way indeed! |
