office girls
Women administrative staff
Office girls is a dated term for female clerical workers—secretaries, typists, receptionists, and administrative assistants.
The phrase carries a patronizing tone, reducing adult women to girls and emphasizing gender over professional role: The office girls handle the filing.
Largely replaced by gender-neutral terms like administrative staff or office workers.
