Women's changing fashions and shapes thru the 1900s! This first page quotes a skit about womens' changing fashions from 1903-1953 written by Lois Long of the New Yorker and performed on "The American Road" by Mary Martin. Following that are production stills of Miss Martin performing her skit in various outfits representing the major Fashion Trends of the first half of the 20th century. Doesn't it seem like every era declares itsself the one of the "emancipated clear eyed career girl"?

Then... and article about women in television commercials and television advertising ("bringing glamor to household appliances").
