Margaret Mead: A Life
This engaging biography offers a nuanced portrait of the woman behind the public icon. From her early travels to the South Sea, where she wrote about adolescent sexuality and guilt-free love in her influential book Coming of Age in Samoa, to her later work as a powerful participant and opinion maker on issues such as culture, education, and social justice.
Mead's personal life was marked by friendships and families of many kinds, which played a significant role in shaping her relationships with others. With a career spanning academia, filmmaking, and museum curation, Mead's remarkable story is both intimate and fascinating.
