brief_description
The extraordinary women featured in this book defied early twentieth-century conventions to carry out groundbreaking field research in distant parts of the world where 'ladies' were not meant to travel. These pioneering anthropologists learned local languages, established relationships across supposed cultural boundaries, insisted on the dignity of humanity in all cultural settings and documented with remarkable meticulousness the lives of the peoples with whom they lived and worked. -- publisher
