This cross-cultural study analyses images and descriptions of breasts and breastfeeding in children’s books and literature for adults, in both English and Swedish. It explores how the feeding of infants is depicted in literature in the two languages and discusses why there are differences and how this might reflect the cultures. Literary, feminist, anthropological, sociological, historical, and cultural research is employed to support the analysis and to suggest explanations for the differing depictions.
B.J. Woodstein is a Swedish-to-English translator, writer, editor, EDI consultant, lactation consultant and doula, as well as an honorary professor in literature and translation at the University of East Anglia in England.
