> My name is Hilary Flower and I am writing an article for a national online
> magazine about nursing in public (sparked by a personal incident: I was
told
> I could not breastfeed my baby at our local pool a couple weeks ago,
because
> it is not "family friendly." I am dealing with that through the system,
but
> I want to do some advocacy at a national level as well.).
>
> I will discuss incidents like my own, and the various Starbucks debacles,
> but I want to explore the *cultural* angle, too.
>
> I am collecting examples from the media of how our culture represents the
> breast (either in terms of breastfeeding, or as sexual object), with the
> intent to show how this aspect of our culture affects nursing in public
(and
> therefore breastfeeding rates in general). I am exploring many different
> aspects of this issue (eg., how formula ads portray breastfeeding;
> controversy about breastfeeding imagery in the mass media; the irony of
how
> acceptable it is for billboards to show lots of skin; etc etc).
>
> I am also interested in such related items as a story I recently read
about
> (alas, the link is now broken) about an invention that fits on a public
> toilet seat to better allow women to nurse in public restrooms without
> falling into the toilet. Eegads. So *anything* "pop culture" to do with
> nursing in public is also very helpful.
>
> Do you have any examples you would enjoy sharing? I am particularly
> interested in examples that include a link, either media reporting about
> incidents or images themselves.
>
> Thank you! And when the piece gets published I promise to come back with
> the link to my article. Please email me: hflower "at" tampabay "dot" rr
> "dot" com Thank you so much for considering this project.
