A pocketbook is a woman's handbag or purse, especially in American English: She rummaged through her pocketbook for her keys.
By extension, pocketbook refers to one's financial resources: The tax increase hit voters in the pocketbook.
Politicians speak of pocketbook issues—matters affecting personal finances like jobs, prices, and wages.
Less commonly, a pocketbook is a small paperback book sized to fit in a pocket.
