He
is always by her side. He’s got everything she needs. She strokes him lovingly
and breathes in his scent. And yet she’ll eventually trade him for a new one:
the lady and her handbag.In
this book, Mylo Freeman introduces fifty inspiring women from all over the
world. From big names such as Queen Elizabeth II, Jane Birkin and  Paris Hilton, to lesser known women such as
South  African fashion designer Palesa
Mokubung, Hello Kitty designer Yuko Yamaguchi and journalist-explorer  Nellie Bly. For each of them, their handbag
carries a different meaning: accessory, practical aid, feminist manifesto. However
different the women and their bags, each of them are unique and a force to be
reckoned with.
