In this provocative, pioneering, and wholly engrossing cultural history, noted scholar Marilyn Yalom explores twentyfive thousand years of ideas, images, and perceptions of the female breastin religion, psychology, politics, society, and the arts.Through the centuries, the breast has been laden with hugely powerful and contradictory meanings. There is the good breast of reverence and life, the breast that nourishes infants and entire communities, as depicted in ancient idols, fifteenthcentury Italian Madonnas, and representations of equality in the French Revolution. Then there is the bad breast of Ezekiels wanton harlots, Shakespeares Lady Macbeth, and the torpedobreasted dominatrix, symbolizing enticement and aggression. Yalom examines these contradictionsand illuminates the implications behind them.A fascinating, astute, and richly allusive journey from Paleolithic goddesses to modern day feminists, A History of the Breast is full of insight and surprises. As Yalom says, I intend to make you think about womens breasts as you never have before. In this, she succeeds brilliantly.
