#2938 - 46¢ Ruth Benedict

Order Pre-cut Mounts 22 x 25 mm - 40 per pack

Studying at Vassar and then Columbia University, it was there that Ruth Benedict discovered her love for anthropology and folklore. Unlike others in the "Great Americans" series, Benedict is honored because she pushed the boundaries of public positions women could hold and for her academic contributions, not her philanthropic donations. Her theories on personality, art, language and culture caused a shift in the way academics analyzed these topics, insisting that nothing exists in isolation. Scott 2938 Ruth Benedict
