Beyond Health, Beyond Choice Summary

Beyond Health, Beyond Choice: Breastfeeding Constraints and Realities by Paige Hall Smith

Beyond Health, Beyond Choice is a multidisciplinary collection of essays written by thirty-seven contributors that examines the role of feminist theory in the promotion of breastfeeding by public health authorities. The essays are arranged thematically and consider breastfeeding in relation to health care; work and family; embodiment (specifically breastfeeding in public); economic and ethnic factors; guilt; violence; and commercialisation. By examining women's experiences, the editors attempt to reframe the discussion to better inform public health approaches and political action.

Beyond Health, Beyond Choice Reviews

"This well-written and accessible book is free of jargon, and covers a sweeping variety of topics. The case studies are interesting and often moving; this book is a desperately needed and important step toward reconciling feminist views on breastfeeding."
