In the Washington Post today, a review by Marina Warner of the book "A
History of the Breast" by Marilyn Yalom (Knopf). Lots of *interesting*
references to nursing. One that caused my eyes to squent and head to tilt
sideways, the reviewer writes "Speeding through the changes in taste and
focus, Yalom stops to contemplate Dutch domestic ideals, pre-Enlightenment
wet-nursing, and the propaganda for mother's milk." What is this going to be
? I'm sure judgement should be reserved until after reading the book. Other
passages indicate even more complex reading in store. Sounds very
interesting. Has anyone read this? I may need to 1)ask Kathy Dettwyler to
translate, or 2)just wait for the movie.
