"And I Always Carry a Purse"

Twisty of I Blame the Patriarchy writes with amusing viciousness of teensy handbags.

I remember an article on purses -- big, voluminous, hold-all-you-own purses -- in Ms. magazine, many years ago. It struck a chord with me, as my family were continuingly puzzled by my insistence on carrying my backpack everywhere I went (not considered cool and grown-up back then).

Now, in nursing school, I find it's time to move up to the wheeled variety that's not so much an oversized purse as a smallish handtruck. Oh, well.

Hold Twisty in the Light, folks. She just found out she has breast cancer.
