Michelle Rosaldo (1944-1981) was an American cultural anthropologist known for her work on gender, culture, and identity in indigenous societies. She received her undergraduate degree in anthropology from Radcliffe College in 1966 and her PhD in anthropology from the University of Michigan in 1972.
Rosaldo's most influential work was her book "Woman, Culture, and Society," co-edited with Louise Lamphere, which was published in 1974. This book, which brought together feminist and anthropological perspectives, was a pioneering work in the field of feminist anthropology and is still widely cited and taught today.
In addition to her work on gender and culture, Rosaldo was also interested in the ways in which culture shapes individual identity. She argued that culture is not just a set of external rules and norms that individuals must conform to, but rather it is an ongoing process of negotiation and interaction between individuals and their social environment.
Rosaldo conducted fieldwork in several indigenous societies, including the Ilongot people of the Philippines and the Tzintzuntzan people of Mexico. She was particularly interested in the ways in which gender and power were constructed and negotiated within these societies, and how these constructions were shaped by cultural practices and beliefs.
Rosaldo was a dedicated teacher and mentor, and her work had a significant impact on the field of anthropology. She served as the president of the American Anthropological Association in 1980, and her contributions to the discipline were recognized with numerous awards and honors.
Despite her untimely death in a plane crash in 1981 at the age of 37, Rosaldo's work continues to be influential and relevant to the study of anthropology, gender, and culture. Her insights into the ways in which culture shapes individual identity and the ways in which power and gender are constructed and negotiated within societies remain important and widely discussed today.
