June 23, 1878 – The QWERTY Typewriter is Patented

The Sholes and Glidden typewriter, the first practical and commercially successful typewriter, is patented. Perhaps most notable in the design of the Sholes and Glidden (which would later become the Remington No. 1 typewriter) is the use of the QWERTY keyboard, (named for the letters appearing in the upper left) which is still the most popular keyboard layout in the world.

By the mid-1880s, forces were converging to create a larger market for typewriting machines. Firms were hiring specialized employees to handle growing volumes of correspondence; combined with changes to accounting practices, it became increasingly worthwhile for businesses to purchase typewriters.

Training schools, which especially taught women, started to spring up across the United States, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere starting in the early 1880s. As typing became standard, employment boomed for typists, clerks, bookkeepers, and accountants. But even as the typewriter opened new avenues to employment, it did not create conditions for equality of opportunity as typing became recast as “women’s work.”
