Ruth Benedict
1887-1948
American scholar and prominent anthropologist.
Noted by a lack of ‘sympathy’ for male students, she was sexually and politically involved with one of her students – Margaret Mead.
They are known as two of the most famous and influential anthropologists of their time. Benedict’s book, Pattern of Cultures, was translated into 14 languages and used as standard reading in American universities for a long period of time.
