This book explores the complex, symbiotic relationship between the mother's breast and the father's house. It examines the ways in which the breasts have been seen throughout history, as well as the ways in which they continue to be seen in the present. The book provides a unique perspective on the ways in which the breasts and the house are intimately connected, and on the ways in which they can serve as symbols of identity and intimacy.; 8vo; 109 pages.
