Breastwork delivers an original and personal approach to a near-universal practice and doesnt shy from controversy or controversial topics, such as sexual desire and breastfeeding. It features a broad range of illustrations from Renaissance paintings of mother and child (Madonna del Latte) to Jerry Hall breastfeeding on the cover of Vanity Fair and Kate Langbroek breastfeeding on The Panel to a banned New Zealand health poster of a man breastfeeding at work.
A beautifully written and accessible guide to the many unexplored cultural meanings of breastfeeding in contemporary society. Essential reading for students of the body, whether in the health professions, the social sciences, or gender and cultural studies - and for all mothers who have pondered the secrets of their breastly intelligence.
