Ruth Benedict

Ruth Benedict (English: Ruth Benedict, nee Fulton, June 5, 1887 - September 17, 1948), American anthropologist. In the early 20th century, a few female scholars, influenced by Franz Boas, and Edward Sapir proposed the earliest cultural configuration theory, which believed that culture is like individuals, with different types and characteristics. Panade studied English literature in his early years, so his works are exquisitely written, and he is good at composing poetry and delicate descriptions. Among her works, "Patterns of Culture" and "Chrysanthemum and Knife" are the most famous. Although the importance of her discussion has been replaced by other theories, the issues and concerns raised in her works are still valued and paid attention to by disciplines such as anthropology and history.
