Women's clothing has small pockets, maybe even no pockets! Emma Harner thinks it’s ridiculous. Over time, she has noticed how clothing companies will make virtually the same pair of pants for boys and girls, but the girls’ style has three less inches of pocket. It’s infuriating and extremely inconvenient for women!
Living with small pockets has been an unnecessary annoyance that every woman in Emma’s life has had to deal with, but no one talks about it. During her talk, Emma speaks about how small or non-existent pockets are an indication of greater issues and inequalities for women in today’s society.
