WHO?

"American anthropologist, author, lecturer, one of the most influential female thinkers in the social sciences.

 Margaret Mead was a celebrity as well as an intellectual, who wrote academic and popular books.

 However, some doubts have arisen about her famous COMING IN AGE IN SAMOA (1928), but otherwise Mead is respected as a major scientist in anthropology.

 Her other works include MALE AND FEMALE (1949), AN ANTHROPOLOGIST AT WORK (1959), a study of her colleague Ruth Benedict, A RAP ON RACE (1971) with James Baldwin, and memoirs BLACKBERRY WINTER (1972).

"As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own." (from Coming of Age in Samoa, 1928)"
