A voz da secretária se impõe.
Rosane
English translation:the voice of the female executive secretary is being heard
Explanation:
If this is a narrative about the place of women in the work force, this is how I would say it.

If the text is a narrative and at a certain point we can hear the voice of a woman, who is an executive secretary, I would then say:
The voice of a woman - an executive secretary - is heard (or: can be heard).
