Chapters by art historians, social and legal historians, historians of science, and literary scholars explore some of the ambiguities and contradictions surrounding the issue, and point to the need for further study, in particular in the realm of lactation imagery in the visual arts.This volume builds on existing scholarship on representation 410 0$aWomen and gender in the early modern world. 606 $aMother and child in literature 606 $aBreastfeeding in literature 606 $aBreastfeeding in art 606 $aWomen and religion$xHistory 606 $aWet nurses in literature 606 $aBreastfeeding$xHistory 615 0$aMother and child in literature. 615 0$aBreastfeeding in literature. 615 0$aBreastfeeding in art. 615 0$aWomen and religion$xHistory. 615 0$aWet nurses in literature. 615 0$aBreastfeeding$xHistory. 676 $a809.933520431 701 $aSperling$b Jutta Gisela$0855899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827426003321 996 $aMedieval and Renaissance lactations$93964270 997 $aUNINA
