Uncommon Lives: My Lifelong Friendship with Margaret Mead
Few women of this century have been more ahead of her time than Margaret Mead. She awakened in people an awareness of global patterns of behavior on topics as diverse as sexual mores, food and culture, health and education. She spoke authoritatively to political and scientific issues as far-ranging as war and space travel. In this vivid and deeply personal portrait of Mead's brilliance, foibles, humor, and her private reactions to friends and enemies, Uncommon Lives traces the intertwined lives of two remarkable women. As one of Mead's few life-long confidants, Grinager breaks through Mead's indomitable professional demeanor to reveal the woman behind this most unique thinker, who not only commanded the attention and respect of her fellow scientists but also influenced generations of women around the world.
