Study Guide Shabbat 62

The mishna mentions items that are forbidden by Torah law for a woman to carry in the public domain. Ulla explans that laws of what can and cannot be carried are opposite for men and women. The gemara brings two different explanations for his opinions. If a woman can't wear a signet ring, why is it forbidden by Torah law if she is wearing it and not carrying it in a normal manner, which would make it only rabbinic. There is a debate regarding weearing a satchel of herbs and a flask of balsam oil. The gemara brings verses from Amos relating to balsam oil and from there to verses in Yeshayahu, both discussing sins of the people and of the women's inappropriate behavior.
