The Portrayal of Breastfeeding in Literature

B.J. Woodstein

This cross-cultural study analyses images and descriptions of breasts and breastfeeding in children’s books and literature for adults, in both English and Swedish. It explores how the feeding of infants is depicted in literature in the two languages and discusses why there are differences and how this might reflect the cultures. Literary, feminist, anthropological, sociological, historical, and cultural research is employed to support the analysis and to suggest explanations for the differing depictions.
