Women are told that “breast is best” but too little serious attention is given to addressing the many social, economic, and political factors that combine to limit women’s real choice to breastfeed beyond a few days or weeks. The result: women’s, infants’, and public health interests are undermined.  \u003ci\u003eBeyond Health, Beyond Choice\u003c\/i\u003e examines how feminist perspectives can inform public health support for breastfeeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by authors from diverse disciplines, perspectives, and countries, this collection of essays is arranged thematically and considers breastfeeding in relation to public health and health care; work and family; embodiment (specifically breastfeeding in public); economic and ethnic factors; guilt; violence; and commercialization. By examining women’s experiences and bringing feminist insights to bear on a public issue, the editors attempt to reframe the discussion to better inform public health approaches and political action. Doing so can help us recognize the value of breastfeeding for the public’s health \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e the important productive and reproductive contributions women make to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Frames\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
