- Apron, 1950-1959 - Before automatic clothes dryers came on the market after World War II, homemakers hung their wet laundry to dry on clotheslines stretched across basements or backyards. This practical apron -- made from kitchen toweling and sporting the embroidered words, "Clothes Pins" -- held clothespins for those without a clothes dryer or who preferred the clean scent of wash hung in the sun to dry.

- Apron, 1970-1975 - The slogan on the pocket of this apron advertising the General Electric Company, "More Power to Women!" alludes to the company's electrical appliances and the Women's Movement of the 1970s. The irony? The slogan is about empowerment, but it appears on a garment usually used by a housewife -- a traditional woman's role often seen as "unempowered."

- Harwood Steiger Apron - The screen-printed fabrics produced by the studio of Harwood Steiger, Inc. are replete with motifs from the American Southwest. Although husband-and-wife proprietors Harwood and Sophie Steiger were born in the Northeast, the Sonoran Desert became their home. Its flora, fauna, and wildlife were a constant inspiration in their enduring partnership, which saw Harwood as the primary artist, and Sophie as the expert botanist and businesswoman.
