Resisting the exploitation of black women's reproductive labor in the United States

(University of Chicago Press Journals) In 'Milk Money: Race, Gender, and Breast Milk 'Donation,'' published in Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, Laura Harrison demonstrates the exploitative, racially charged nature of Milk Money, a failed pilot program by the Mothers Milk Cooperative and Medolac Laboratories. The program targeted African American mothers in Detroit to sell their breast milk at one dollar per ounce to Medolac, who would then process it and sell it at a 600 percent markup.
