Photograph article dated January 11, 1965 partially reads, "This is the first installment of a series showing women how to defend themselves at home and in the street... The objects in your purse from compact to lighter to eyebrow pencil are within reach and take very little training to use. Look at these pictures. Don't try to remember the small details but the thought behind them. Remember, you carry a number of weapons in your purse that could help save your life. All it requires is for you to decide in advance that you will take any measures necessary to protect your life. Then do it."; See images #00113401 through #00113404 for all photos in this series.
