Summary
Pinter and Martin's Why it Matters series offer succinct, balanced and evidence-based introductions to the topics that affect family life in the 21st century. The Politics of Breastfeeding, first published in 1988, described how big business and vested interests influence the intimate relationship between mothers and their babies to the detriment of all, rich or poor, in the West or in the developing world. In Why the Politics of Breastfeeding Matter, the central ideas of the politics of breastfeeding are distilled into a concise form, making it the perfect introduction to understanding the complex forces that govern what many think of as a simple choice to breastfeed or not.

Amazing!
As a midwife myself I felt I knew a lot but this book was so informative and mind blowing how we got to this point! Brilliant book will definitely be reading the bigger book.

A fantastic book that everyone should read.
I always enjoy being able to listen to the author themselves reading. A great pleasure to hear Gabriella herself reading this, you can hear her passion and determination to aid to changing the world for the better.

As essential read for anyone who cares about humanity
Would recommend this to everyone. Gives an essential understanding of the vile marketing of breastmilk substitutes and how the disempowerment of women’s bodies contribute to the breastfeeding crisis we face today, and what that means.

A must listen to all when planning a family
When my life allows me more free time I will offer free peer support to as many families as I can. Sadly my community breastfeeding clinic has been closed last week due to political changes.
