Margaret Mead (1901-1978), an American cultural anthropologist, with a mask. Mead received her undergraduate degree from Barnard University in 1923, where she studied under Franz Boaz and Ruth Benedict. She acquired a Ph.D from Columbia University in 1929. At the age of 23, Dr. Mead began a field study in Samoa, against Boaz's advice. From this experience she wrote "Coming Of Age In Samoa, " published in 1928. She became curator at the Department of Anthropology at the American Museum of Natural History and was a professor of anthropology at Columbia University. She is quoted as saying: "I have spent most of my life studying the lives of other peoples, faraway peoples, so that Americans might better understand themselves."
