About Margaret Mead
Margaret Mead (1901–1978) was a renowned American cultural anthropologist whose work significantly influenced the fields of anthropology and sociology. Known for her studies of the Samoan islands and her pioneering research on the roles of culture and gender in human behavior, Mead emphasized the importance of cultural context in shaping individual identity and social norms. Her significant publications, including "Coming of Age in Samoa," challenged conventional views on adolescence and laid the groundwork for modern discussions on gender and sexuality.
