Michael E. LipscombKaren M. KedrowskiKaren M KedrowskiFirst published 20084 editions

Kedrowski and Lipscomb (both political science, Winthrop U.) begin by listing and analyzing all the laws, policies, judicial opinions, cultural mores and public attitudes about breastfeeding in the US, then compare them to prevailing thought that advocates it but does not allow for it in public or at the workplace. They believe the conflict creates a double bind ("Do it but do not do it here") that creates coercion that is incompatible with the meaningful exercise of rights. Their final chapter takes an interesting point of view that makes breastfeeding activists and liberal feminists allies, a rare but perhaps workable partnership.
