谁和鲁思·本尼迪克特约会过？

露絲·班乃迪克（英語：Ruth Benedict，原姓富爾頓，1887年6月5日—1948年9月17日），美國人類學家。20世紀初少數的女性學者，受到法蘭茲·鮑亞士的影響，同愛德華·薩丕爾提出最早的文化形貌論（Cultural Configuration），認為文化如同個人，具有不同的類型與特徵。

潘乃德早年學習英國文學，故其作品文筆高妙，並善於作詩以及細膩的描述。她的作品中，尤以《文化模式》（Patterns of Culture）與《菊與刀》最為著名。儘管她論述的重要性已被其他理論取代，但其著作中提出的問題與關懷，至今仍受到人類學、歷史學等學科的重視與關注。

Margaret Mead (December 16, 1901 – November 15, 1978) was an American cultural anthropologist, author and speaker, who appeared frequently in the mass media during the mid-twentieth century.

Mead's first ethnographic work, Coming of Age in Samoa (1928), addressed adolescence and sexuality and catapulted her to national visibility. Her book Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies (1935), explored gender roles and personality based on fieldwork in Papua New Guinea. Mead also conducted fieldwork with the Omaha people; in Manus, Papua New Guinea; and in Bali. She wrote Keep Your Powder Dry, an ethnographic examination of American life, in the hopes of supporting mobilization for World War II. She coordinated two comparative studies on modern cultures in the 1950s, while focusing her own work on Russia. Her later work included returns to Papua New Guinea, Bali, and Samoa for longitudinal studies. She was curator of ethnology at the American Museum of Natural History from 1946 to 1969. Mead served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1975.

According to anthropologist Paul Shankman, "Mead was anthropology’s most significant public voice during the twentieth century." She is regarded as a founding figure in public anthropology and visual anthropology. Her ethnography of the South Pacific and Melanesia has been subject to vigorous academic debate. From the 1920s to the 1960s, her fieldwork was widely discussed in the press and she wrote a monthly column in Redbook magazine co-authored with partner Rhoda Métraux. Her reports detailing the attitudes towards sex in South Pacific and Southeast Asian traditional cultures influenced the 1960s sexual revolution. Mead's association with cultural relativism and the sexual revolution led to sharp criticism from conservatives.
