Definition

  • Ruth Fulton Benedict was one of the best-known American anthropologists of her generation. Her book Patterns of Culture (1934) made the ideas of anthropologists available to a wide general audience, and in The Chrysanthemum and the Sword (1946), she attempted to explain Japanese culture to Americans after World War II. Ruth was married to chemist Stanley Benedict, but both had affairs, she with other women as well as one man. [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Benedict, Ruth]
