Militant Lactivism?

Exploring the experiences of mothers in London and Paris, the book delves into the narratives of women who embrace extended breastfeeding as part of attachment parenting. It highlights their views on breastfeeding as a natural, scientifically supported choice tied to their identities. Through the lens of intensive parenting, the author examines the moral dimensions of these practices and the emergence of 'militant lactivists'. Additionally, it reflects on broader themes of gender, feminism, and activism, contributing to the understanding of kinship and self-construction in parenting culture.
