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, Mother's Milk will be of interest to anyone concerned with the politics of women's embodiment.

"This book is primarily a genealogy of the third 16th of my family, of the relation and ancestry of my great great grandfather, John (Johann) Fellenz 1833-1896. John's grandfather was Philipp Fellenz 1757-1847, who died in Germany shortly before the arrival in America of his son Peter 1804, daughter Anna Maria Fellenz Feiten 1814, his wife's nephew Mathias Sausen 1812, and their families to the Town of Kewaskum in Washington County, WI, about March 1847. They were later to be joined by all known descendants of Philipp 1757 except for part of the Katherina Fellenz Rinzel family and most of the descendants of Johann Wilhelm Sausen 1763. Philipp's brother-in-law and the above are the core of this book."--Introduction
