“Ina May Gaskin’s words of wisdom are a gift to all women. Ina
May’s Guide to Breastfeeding is the perfect informative
companion to Spiritual Midwifery and Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth.
All of them hold a treasured place in my library and should, no
doubt, be part of yours.”—Ricki Lake, coauthor of Your Best
Birth and cocreator of the documentary The Business of Being
Born

“Eons of accumulated feminine wisdom, having been muddled and
dispersed by modern medical practice, have become sadly unavailable
to today’s woman. In this and each of her books, Ms. Gaskin, one of
the world’s foremost scholars of such wisdom, puts it concisely and
lovingly back into our hands. Ina May’s Guide to Breastfeeding is
the perfect gift for any pregnant woman. It is like having the best
childbirth and lactation consultant right there at your bedside.
And for non-pregnant women and men alike, may it be viewed as the
seminal feminist text that it is, and may the re-empowerment of
women with respect to childbirth be seen as central to the work of
feminism, and indeed the cause of humanity, in the 21st century.”
—Ani DiFranco
