- Summary
- "Few women of this century have been more ahead of their time than Margaret Mead. In this vivid and deeply personal portrait of Mead's brilliance, foibles, humor, and private reactions to friends and enemies, Uncommon Lives traces the intertwined lives of two remarkable women. As one of Mead's few life-long confidants, Grinager breaks through Mead's indomitable professional demeanor to reveal the woman behind this most unique thinker, who not only commanded the attention and respect of her fellow scientists but also influenced generations of women around the world."--Jacket.
