Why Women Are Saying No to High-Fashion Handbags and Yes to Lady Backpacks

Women carry the world on their shoulders, often in glamorous high heels and stylish one-shoulder handbags. Combining beauty and intellect, we make work-life balance look easy while our physical health pays a price. Like the smart kicks and stylish flats that have made their way into offices worldwide, the "lady backpack" is a statement against the old adage that beauty is pain. Based on an article from The Atlantic, we discuss the physical and metaphorical implications of women managing life's heavy lifting and talk fashionable choices that lighten the load.   Promotional Messages From the Show **Believe, Inspire, Grow Speakership -  Show host Helen Owens will be speaking live at the Believe, Inspire, Grow membership meeting on Friday, August 9, 2019, at 10 am in Chatham Township, NJ.
