By exploring how the seemingly question of whether or not to breastfeed is influenced by a number of societal factors including sexuality, economic issues, race, and the control over a women's body, Blum demonstrates how a biological function can be a complex issue. Blum's talk traces historical development of the expectations of motherhood to the current model of idealized motherhood and the consequences of that ideal on women today.
