Cook said she was shopping at the store with a friend last week when she asked to use a dressing room where she could nurse her daughter. When she was told no room was available, she offered to sit in the rear of the dressing room hallway but was told that was unacceptable, she said.

The leader of Saturday's demonstration in front of a Cleveland-area store said Victoria's Secret "plasters breasts everywhere" but seems offended when they're used for their intended purpose.

Cook said the nurse-in was meant to make people aware that breasts are not obscene, according to the AP.

She added that the store's models and mannequins show more breast than the average nursing mom does.
