description This article aims to analyse the configuration of secretaries’ labour identities in Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile between 1910-1955, two cities that went through similar processes of capitalist modernisation during the first half of the twentieth century. A noticeable phenomenon within those processes was the expansion of the labour market and, in particular, of the administrative jobs. Among the latter, secretaries increased their professionalization, which derived from both their access to the educational system and the progressive feminisation of administrative tasks. In this work, firstly, I will show the rise in the number of women occupied in the private bureaucratic sector. Secondly, I will address the feminisation of the secretarial profession. The analysis, which draws on Women’s History and Gender Studies, will proceed through a critical analysis of population censuses, training manuals for the commercial area and commercial press.
