Edith Turner  

Definition

  • As one of the most important proponents of humanistic approaches to anthropology, Edith Turner has influenced how anthropologists think about women's roles within the discipline and how anthropologists write. Her first solo authored book, The Spirit and the Drum, originally written in the 1950s but not published until 1987, cannot easily be located in post-modern and feminist categorizations.
