Ruth Benedict
"The trouble with life isn't that there is no answers, it's that there are so many answers." - Ruth Benedict
Ruth Benedict was an anthropologist born in New York on June, 5 1887. She became partially deaf due to an illness in early childhood. She was not diagnosed until she attended Norwich Public School in 1895. Due to her partial deafness, Ruth became a very quiet and shy person. This did not stop her from dominating, as a woman in a field that was predominantly men. She was a humanist scientist, a feminist, and a poet. She wrote several books but the most widely read, Patterns of Culture, was translated into 12 different languages. Ruth's father died before she was three and her mother, a school teacher, struggled to provide for her and her younger sister. Even though Ruth was a shy person, students of hers claimed that they were surprised by how soft-spoken she was. Because Ruth liked to travel she eventually moved to Los Angeles. She met her future husband, Stanley Benedict in Los Angeles. They eventually moved back to New York in 1914 and bought a house in Long Island where Ruth entered Columbia University. That is were Ruth met Margaret Mead, her lifelong friend whom she shared an intimate relationship after separating from her husband in 1930.
