The World of Margaret Mead
Margaret Mead, the distinguished anthropologist, died last November at the age of 76. She was one of the most influential social scientists in America. Her field studies and books helped bring about the change of attitude towards women and their role in society.
In tonight's Horizon, recorded in 1976, we follow her on a typical 5,000-mile lecture tour round the United States and, in conversation with fellow anthropologist Adam Kuper, she retraces her life and her work.
