In celebration of Interâ€" national _ Women‘s _ Day, March 8, Dr. Hariot Lyons will examine anthropologist Margaret Mead‘s work and her unconventional life in attempt to answer the question, "Margaret Mead, Feminist or Sellâ€"out?" In her later work, including the book Male and Female and many articles written for the popular press, Mead seemed to offer a more conservative view of sexuality, marriage and the family. Betty Friedan‘s Feminine Mystique devoted an entire chapter to criticizing Mead for changing her ideas to suit the conservative postwar mood in the U.S., and some later writâ€" ers have continued to view Mead as having "sold out" her feminism to advance her career.
