Margaret Mead: A Life. At the age of 23, in the 1920s, Margaret Mead traveled alone to the South Sea and wrote of adolescent sexuality and guilt-free love in her now-classic Coming of Age in Samoa. For the next half-century, Mead would act as a powerful voice in culture and religion, education and child-rearing, sex and freedom, world hunger, war, and the politics of peace.
An inveterate world traveler, a teacher at Columbia University, and curator of the American Museum of Natural History, Mead wrote twenty-four books, made ten films, and was granted twenty-eight honorary degrees and numerous awards. This intimate and fascinating story is an astonishing record of the personal and scientific life of an extraordinary human being.
