The idea of systematically relegating female college graduates to the typing pool was something I saw in American films of the period, and which shocked me at the time, because it wouldn't have happened in England. Maybe the films were quite a bit older, because it took quite a long while for a US film to get to be on TV in England back then, but I don't think we ever did that. I'm sure we had our own barriers to equality, but AFAIK that was never one of them. Maybe someone older can prove me wrong? (Although I'm on the wrong side of 50)
