-==== THE 'MATERNITY' LETTERS ====
-//"'Maternity: Letters from Working Women' edited by Margaret Llewellyn Davies depicts the lives of some women at the turn of the twentieth century. As literate women and members of the Women's Co-operative Guild, they were acutely aware that they were better off than many others. The fact that most of them had led lives of unceasing pain and humiliation makes the experience of the other nineteenth century British working women all the more horrifying. ... \\

-'Maternity' reveals that a life of bad health, overwork, under-nutrition and sexual exploitation was the lot of most women.  ... Though the medical world continued to emphasise the ignorance of mothers, the mothers' letter in 'Maternity' show women's awareness of the needs of mothers and babies. Most mothers did breastfeed and took a shy pride on this fact. When they failed to breastfeed this was yet another sorrow to add to the endless account of misery. They knew that artificial feeding was dangerous and also that stress exacerbated physical problems even though this was not acknowledged 'scientifically' ... The very anxiety that they might not be able to breastfeed would have increased the risk of lactation failure."//
-(Sumber: Gabrielle Palmer, 1988. The Politics of Breastfeeding, m.s. 185-188).
-//"The milk companies have argued that their products kept children alive for all the mothers who could not breastfeed and there was a 'demand'. The fact that the new organisation and stresses of industrialised society created so many of the burdens for women that prevented them from breastfeeding meant that the companies themselves were creating the conditions which ensured that their product would be needed. \\
-..... \\
-...the effect of this on infant feeding has been repeated around the world. The process of industrialised urbanisation appears to cut women off from their support systems and expose them to stresses, both emotional and physiological, which make it more difficult for them to breastfeed. Hard work itself does not impede lactation, as clear evidence from so many rural societies indicates, nor living in a city, as thousands of privileged Europeans and North Americans have proved in the 1980s. ... Milk companies and doctors are always claiming that women do not want to breastfeed. This seems exceedingly rare in the rural situation, but does occur in the urban. ... The introduction of damaging practices makes breastfeeding failure likely and a mother who experienced difficulties is bound to discourage her daughter. Several of the letters in 'Maternity' describe the experience of a 'gathered breast' (i.e. mastitis) or an abscess. This indicates that they were probably not feeding the baby frequently in the early days after the birth and this early restriction is often linked with later lactation failure. ... \\

-There are so many changes which accompany the process of industrialisation that it is an oversimplication to pinpoint one as a cause of decline in breastfeeding. Among these confitions were a loss of intimate knowledge and support, an intrusion of erroneous medical supervsion into a personal relationship and the widespread availability of products which were promoted as adequate breastmilk substitutes. The new methods of production which made life more difficult for breastfeeding women and increased the numbers of dead babies were producing hundreds of products which were widely advertised with extravagant and misleading claims and were making a good profit for their manufacturers."//
