A welcome resource and reference biographical dictionary that
took five years to produce and is aimed at both graduate and
undergraduate students in anthropology, history, and sociology.
Each chapter is a brief autobiography that portrays the
professional and personal lives--the triumphs and tribulations--of
the brave, committed, first- and second-generation pioneers. . . .
Well organized with useful appendixes, indexes, and references.
"Choice"
These concise biographies of a wide and interesting sample of
women anthropologists make a valuable addition to the growing field
of history of anthropology. As the editors point out, the careers
of these women illuminate, usually by contrast, the factors that
shaped the discipline of anthropology in its first century. The
editors also note that these women's careers show far more applied'
and popular' work than characterizes the careers of most prominent
men anthropologists, and this difference calls into question the
values implicit in much mainstream anthropology, implicit values
often at odds with professed values.
