> That women are taught that this is a biological imperative is astonishingly ignorant of human history.

I'm confused as to what you're referring to here - breastfeeding, or wet nurses? Or that only the biological mother can feed the baby?

Wet nurses have always existed across the world, but outside elite society, they were the exception, not the norm.
