Parsons's work resonates strikingly to current trends in anthropology."-George W. Stocking, Jr., Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute "This is the biography of a woman so interesting and effective-a cross between Margaret Mead and Georgia O'Keeffe. . . . A nuanced portrait of this vivid woman."-Tanya Luhrmann, New York Times Book Review "A marvelous new book about the life of Elsie Clews Parsons. . . . It's as though she is sitting on the next rock, a contemporary struggling with the same issues that confront women today: how to combine work, love and child-rearing into one life."-Abigail Trafford, Washington Post "Parsons's splendid life and work continue to illuminate current puzzles about acculturation and diversity."-New Yorker 410 0$aWomen in culture and society. 606 $aWomen anthropologists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aWomen social scientists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aFeminists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aFeminism$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSex role$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions 610 $agender, feminism, anthropology, academia, social norms, convention, biography, nonfiction, women anthropologists, race, pueblo indians, native americans, indigenous, adultery, infidelity, marriage, childrearing, parenting, division of labor, freedom, independence, family life, sexuality, modernism, identity, female scientist, cultural differences, tolerance, pluralism, diversity, history, funding. 615 0$aWomen anthropologists 615 0$aWomen social scientists 615 0$aFeminists 615 0$aFeminism$xHistory. 615 0$aSex role$xHistory. 676 $a301/.092 676 $aB 700 $aDeacon$b Desley$0801514 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778715203321 996 $aElsie Clews Parsons$93731943 997 $aUNINA
