Hi, I'm hoping one of you may be able to help me cite the following
quotation from Christiane Northrup:

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to
nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as
women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing
that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of
nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies
through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they
could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in
its purest form."

I used this in some comments at a conference last year (lacking a citation)
but now the proceedings of the conference are being published, so I need a
reference!

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
