Susan posted about seeing a film called 'The Group'.  I have not seen the 
film, but guess that it is based on the novel of the same name, by Mary 
McCarthy, pub 1963. 

This is one of the classic American novels, here is the Amazon Uk synopsis: 
Synopsis
Eight young women from the class of 1933 have graduated from Vassar and are 
beginning to learn about life. They choose or are offered marriage, a career 
or an emancipated life, one of sexual or social freedom. In their 
discoveries and development they mirror the growing up of provincial 
America. 

The chapter in which Pru has her baby and her early feeding experience is 
really well written and instructive.  Highly recommended for those 
interested in the sad history of infant feeding in the west. 

Disclaimer:  I know that I was first prompted to reread this novel as a 
breastfeeding supporter after reading extracts in a file of Jack Newman's.  
I do not know if his files of breastfeeding quotes from literature are still 
somewhere on the internet.
