Margaret Mead, Historical Honorary Member
(1901-1978)

"Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist, who moved us away from ethnocentric anthropological studies to less judgemental, more culturally-relativistic studies. She taught us that our culture has certain beliefs and other cultures have other beliefs; neither outlook is right or wrong, they are merely different. I love her fly-away locks."
