Nowadays, there are a number of different positions that fall into this trope – secretaries, personal assistants, receptionists, executive assistants, and beyond – but they all share some important qualities, and have to suffer through many of the same problems.

So let’s take a deeper look at the various representations of the secretary on screen - from Mad Men's Joan to The Office's Pam to Veep's Sue to Suit's Donna to 9 to 5's Doralee and beyond - what she really represents, and why she deserves respect.
