Margaret Meadová bola americká kultúrna antropologička.

Študovala na Barnard College a na Columbijskej univerzite, kde vyučoval Franz Boas a Ruth Benedictová. Prvý výskumný projekt, ktorý viedla v Tichomorí, bol zameraný na spôsob života dospievajúcich dievčat. Spolu podnikla 12 výskumných expedícií do Tichomoria, najmä na Novú Guineu. Záujem sústreďovala aj na rodovú problematiku. Dospela k názoru o kultúrnej podmienenosti rodových aj individuálnych diferencií. Výchova totiž, podľa Meadovej, určuje povahové črty a distribúciu vlastností a sama je kultúrne podmienená.

Meadová bola v roku 1960 zvolená za prezidentku Americkej antropologickej asociácie. Spolupracovala s OSN na viacerých projektoch, týkajúcich sa výchovy, detí a problémov mentálneho zdravia. Wikipedia

Margaret Mead: Citáty v angličtine

“If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse gift will find a fitting place.”

Zdroj: 1930s, Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies (1935), p. 322
Kontext: Historically our own culture has relied for the creation of rich and contrasting values upon many artificial distinctions, the most striking of which is sex. It will not be by the mere abolition of these distinctions that society will develop patterns in which individual gifts are given place instead of being forced into an ill-fitting mould. If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.

“!-- This is my most misunderstood book, and I have devoted some attention to trying to understand why. … --> I have been accused of having believed when I wrote Sex and Temperament that there are no sex differences … This, many readers felt, was too much. It was too pretty. I must have found what I was looking for. But this misconception comes from a lack of understanding of what anthropology means, of the open-mindedness with which one must look and listen, record in astonishment and wonder, that which one would not have been able to guess.”
