That depends on who's asking, says Marilyn Yalom, author of this scholarly, illustrated treatise on the breast in Western society. "Babies see food. Men see sex. Doctors see disease. Businesspeople see dollar signs." Breasts have been denounced as wanton, or idealized as givers of power or life in images of Egyptian goddess Isis nursing pharoahs; sturdy, maternal Mother Russia; or the more eroticized, bare-breasted symbol of republican ideals in France. Psychologists, religious leaders, advertisers, and pornographers have rhapsodized over, vilified, and used breasts to sell everything from war to Cadillacs. And, finally, women have seen in them pleasure, power, sustenance, fear, or failure to measure up. 1711854 1997 History of the Breast total:56|5:17|4:22|3:16|2:1|1:0| 56 223 127 14 4 0 false false Thu Jul 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 19:14:10 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 08:18:02 -0700 2009 A History of the Breast while researching the evolution of the corset for a graduate term paper.
