What is Main about?

<p><P>In this provocative, pioneering, and wholly engrossing cultural history, noted scholar Marilyn Yalom explores twenty-five thousand years of ideas, images, and perceptions of the female breast&#151;in religion, psychology, politics, society, and the arts.<br><br>Through the centuries, the breast has been laden with hugely powerful and contradictory meanings. There is the &quot;good breast&quot; of reverence and life, the breast that nourishes infants and entire communities, as depicted in ancient idols, fifteenth-century Italian Madonnas, and representations of equality in the French Revolution. Then there is the &quot;bad breast&quot; of Ezekiel's wanton harlots, Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth, and the torpedo-breasted dominatrix, symbolizing enticement and aggression. Yalom examines these contradictions&#151;and illuminates the implications behind them.<br><br>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, &quot;I intend to make you think about women's breasts as you never have before.&quot; In this, she succeeds brilliantly.</p><h3>Library Journal</h3
