Mother's Milk Breastfeeding Controversies in American Culture
Mother's Milk examines why nursing a baby is an ideologically charged experience in contemporary culture. Drawing upon medical studies, feminist scholarship, anthropological literature, and an intimate knowledge of breastfeeding itself, Bernice Hausman demonstrates what is at stake in mothers' infant feeding choices--economically, socially, and in terms of women's rights. Breastfeeding controversies, she argues, reveal social tensions around the meaning of women's bodies, the authority of science, and the value of maternity in American culture. A provocative and multi-faceted work,

- "This book examines how and why nursing a baby--the breast or bottle debate--has become such a complex experience in contemporary culture. By looking at medical, popular, and scholarly materials, the author demonstrates how much is at stake in this ongoing debate--economically, socially, and in terms of women's rights. (Midwest)."
