The Centennial of Margaret Mead's birth was celebrated in 2001; multiple exhibitions, programs and websites were mounted throughout that year to honor her life.

Margaret Mead Exhibition
The Library of Congress exhibited a selection of the field notes, archives, and artifacts; the collection documents major themes in Mead's life and work.

A radio broadcast "To Cherish the Life of the World: One Hundred Years of Margaret Mead" is available in recorded and transcript form at http://www.wamu.org/mead/credits.html, with related links and references.

Explore either or both websites. Identify major themes in Mead's work. Why do you think she was such an important, iconographic figure in American anthropology?
