Mother's Milk: Breastfeeding Controversies in American Culture
by Bernice Hausman
An academic study, Mother's Milk explores the negative portrayal of breastfeeding in the US and the way that breastfeeding is promoted. Critical and thought-provoking, this book is for anyone interested in cultural studies, feminism and advocacy. Written by a breastfeeding mother, this book engages a balanced discussion on La Leche League, and notes the fundamental importance of advocates and feminists alike of striving to ensure that breastfeeding is the norm and the right of all mothers regardless of race and class.
