A hundred years ago irons were made of solid metal. They were set to warm (usually on an open fire) and then used to press clothes.

Electric irons first appeared early in the Twentieth Century, and didn't become commonplace in working-class households until the 1940's. But once electric irons were widespread, electric steam irons became a possibility (steam irons became commonplace during the 1960's).

Ironing is much easier these days.
