Ruth Benedict.jpg

The expert in anthropology that I admire is Ruth Benedict, she was born in New York City on June 5, 1887. She was an American anthropologist and folklorist. Her father was a surgeon and she died when she was little. His mother, Beatrice, had to work as a teacher in small towns to support her and her sister In the Second World War, she participated as a collaborator of the United States Army.  In 1951 Ruth Benedict participated in the Contemporary Cultures Research project at Columbia University, along with Ruth Valentine and Margaret Mead. In 1946, the first female president of the American Anthropological Association was elected. I like it because his life was not guided by the social prejudices of the time. In addition Ruth Benedict is an anthropologist of great importance, who stood out from its beginnings, accompanied by her mentor Franz Boas. His works not only meant a lot for the army of the United States but also were of great relevance for anthropology and for later investigations
