- Description
- This book presents the personal and professional correspondence, spanning almost sixty years, of Margaret Mead. She was a famous pioneer of cultural anthropology, a feminist icon, and a talented writer. The letters are organized in chapters entitled: Family (bread and butter and applesauce): Husbands (starved for likemindedness): Lovers (continuingly meaningful): Friends (a genius for friendship): Colleagues (what is important is the work): and Growing family (kith and kin). With a brief chronology of her life (1901-1978) and an introduction on the logic of human relationships.
