This volume presents important essays inspired by the pioneering
works of three leading women anthropologists. The title may
therefore be read in more than one way. The three biographical
essays in this volume as well as the comprehensive bibliographies
of these anthropologists' works fully confirm the high esteem in
which their remarkable personalities are held to this day and offer
material about them not formerly available. The book includes
important discussions by distinguished social anthropologists,
based on rich ethnographic data, of the many identities,
personhoods, powers, and other various categorizations of women,
each author handling her material and analyses in her own
distinctive way. Of particular value is Shirley Ardener's
perceptive introductory essay which places the volume in the wider
context of some areas of major concern to social scientists, such
as the construction of identities, kinship theory, and the
production of knowledge itself, as well as of the particularities
of women in diverse cultures.
