Margaret Mead (1901-1978) was an American cultural anthropologist who is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in her field. She was born in Philadelphia and grew up in a Quaker family. She studied at Barnard College, where she became interested in anthropology, and later received her PhD from Columbia University.
Mead conducted extensive fieldwork in Samoa, New Guinea, and other Pacific Island cultures, where she studied topics such as gender roles, sexuality, and child-rearing practices. Her most famous work, “Coming of Age in Samoa,” was based on her research in Samoa and challenged the prevailing Western belief that adolescence was a time of universal stress and conflict.
Mead was also a prominent public intellectual, writing over 20 books and numerous articles, and appearing on television programs such as “60 Minutes” and “Meet the Press.” She was a strong advocate for social and political causes such as feminism and environmentalism, and she used her platform to promote cultural diversity and cross-cultural understanding.
Throughout her career, Mead received numerous honors and awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. Today, she is remembered as a pioneering anthropologist and a trailblazer for women in academia.
