A lovely new children's book will be in print Oct.'95
"The Pirate Queen" by Emily Arnold McCully
Publisher -Putnam Publishing Group
200 Madison Ave
NYC, NY 10016
It is about a female pirate(a stong female character)
She marries and has a child. There is a picture of her breastfeeding.( not
very modestly but she is a pirate)
The local rep for Putnam told me that bookstores especially in the N.Virginia
and DC are refusing to purchase the book because of the breastfeeding
picture.
We have come a long way in promoting breastfeeding but look how far we have
to go.
