In episode 24 of a Woman's Place Podcast, we get into the vanishing of women's pockets and the relationship between a lack of pockets in women's clothing and control. The ability to conceal something on your person can be said to be directly related to the level of freedom you enjoy.

Practices are employed by authorities that often restrict this ability- most notably through things like 'stop and frisk' in America which allows the police to search people whenever they please. In this episode, we talk about how authorities banned the use of pockets for women because of the fear of what they might be concealing, how that led to the handbag and then to the eventual performative pockets we see today on women's clothing.

Join us as we take a look at the timeline of women's fashion to see where it all went wrong.
