Current public health promotion of breastfeeding relies heavily on
health messaging and individual behavior change. Women are told
that "breast is best" but too little serious attention is given to
addressing the many social, economic, and political factors that
combine to limit women's real choice to breastfeed beyond a few
days or weeks. The result: women's, infants', and public health
interests are undermined. Beyond Health, Beyond Choice examines how
feminist perspectives can inform public health support for
breastfeeding. Written by authors from diverse disciplines,
perspectives, and countries, this collection of essays is arranged
thematically and considers breastfeeding in relation to public
health and health care; work and family; embodiment (specifically
breastfeeding in public); economic and ethnic factors; guilt;
violence; and commercialization. By examining women's experiences
and bringing feminist insights to bear on a public issue, the
editors attempt to reframe the discussion to better inform public
health approaches and political action. Doing so can help us
recognize the value of breastfeeding for the public's health and
the important productive and reproductive contributions women make
to the world.
