...hoping that will change. Backed by local women's groups and the Center for Reproductive Rights, Bing and a group of 19 of Manila?s poorest residents have taken the city to court. Their potentially precedent-setting lawsuit contends that the ban damages women???s health and violates their rights.

After Trading Up, I talked to a lot of people about new luxury, and consumers?mostly women???would say, "You only got half the story. You got the trade-up part, but in order for me to afford to trade up, I cut corners." They would tell me stories about particular treasures that they had found.
