Our purses, ourselves

Article Abstract:

Handbags are almost exclusively women's territory and a lot can be told about a woman from what she carries around in her handbag. Starting as little girls with dainty toy handbags, and moving through the lipstick-carrying teens to the kitchen-sink-toting motherhood years, women have made handbags an important part of their lives.

Article Abstract:
