About This Item
New York: William Morrow & Company, Inc, 1972. First edition of this work by the award winning anthropologist. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Signed and dated "Margaret Mead 1973" on the half-title page. Near fine in a very good price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket cover photograph by Ken Heyman. Jacket design by Lucy Mahoney. Blackberry Winter provides a rare glimpse of a pioneering woman's formative journey. In her chapters "On Being a Granddaughter" & "The Pattern My Family Made Me," Mead examines the wisdom she gained from her maternal grandmother as well as the inheritance she received from her ancestors and how her upbringing fueled her desire for a fulfilling career that would reflect her own emerging values. She vividly captivates portraits of bohemian life in New York City in the '20s and her early days at the American Museum of Natural History, where she met her longtime mentor, Franz Boas, & friend, Ruth Benedict. She reflects on the legacy she leaves her descendants in the chapter On Being A Grandmother, indeed, all of humanity.
