Description
Milk: An Intimate History of Breastfeeding
By Joanna Wolfarth, this book offers a profound exploration of the social, cultural and historical meanings of breastfeeding. Using her own experience as a starting point, Wolfarth takes readers on a journey of discovery, examining how the world views caregivers, their bodies, their labour and their communal bonds.
Through a rich tapestry of art, social histories, philosophy, folk wisdom and contemporary interviews with women from around the world, Wolfarth reveals how infant feeding has been represented and repressed, celebrated and censured. A deeply personal and thought-provoking book, Milk provides comfort and solace to anyone who has fed or will feed a child.
