Abstract

Qualification rules for female secretaries are analyzed within the context of the education for professions in the 1960s and 1970s, featuring two Brazilian handbooks, namely, Manual da secretária moderna [Handbook for the modern female secretary], by Helena Montezuma, and Você, secretária: um manual para o desenvolvimento profissional, [You, female secretary: Handbook for professional development], by Neris Bertocco and Angela Schneider Loyola. Discussions are undertaken on the manner the educational discourse for working as a female secretary occurred. Relationships are investigated between female education and the conforming, moralizing and modeling performance in work, coupled to the construction of the profession´s culture with new significations for the 1970s. Results showed a type of education accompanied by the persistence of tradition on the feminine roles, with great difficulties for rupturing the shackles of female conditions in society.
