Explanation:
In het Nederlands wordt het dus niet vertaald. Baglady in de VanDale electronisch. Meervoud: bagladies

Ook wel: bag ladies of bag-ladies.

Dropouts als zwervers, verlopen Indianen of bag ladies figureren in zijn fotowerken, vaak op het formaat van historieschilderingen en gepresenteerd op grote lichtbakken.

En daarnaast de vele bag-ladies, vrouwen die troosteloos met een lading vodden en todden door de stad sjokken.
