The other day Katie Allison Granju (author of Attachment Parenting: Instinctive Care for Your Baby and Young Child
) was lamenting how difficult it is to be a breastfeeding and working mother. That got me thinking about the challenges working mothers face. So when I was looking for something to listen to while I cleaned out my computer desk, I chose this interesting podcast, an interview with Jennifer Hicks, the woman who compiled and edited Hirkani’s Daughters: Women Who Scale Modern Mountains to Combine Breastfeeding and Working
. Hicks talks about how the book came about and how it got its name, and describes her own experience working and breastfeeding. Take a listen (click on “an interview” above) and see if you’d be interested in reading the inspiring short stories in Hirkani’s Daughters.
