</div><p></p><div dir="ltr"><div></div><div>Hello,</div><div><br></div><div>We're hoping to get help with a question from a patron. The patron is looking for the titles of books read long ago.</div><div><br></div><div>The original question is:</div><div><br></div><div>
Patron needs title of a book written by a woman in Southern California. Doesn't know the title or author. <br>
<br>
Book is a memoir/autobiography about the author's life as an anthropologist working with Native populations in Southern California. <br>
Book was written/published in the 60's or 70's.
The author had a child out of wedlock. Married a native man. <br></div><div><br></div><div>This may be a series of memoirs that our patron remembers. We thought they might be written by one of these authors, but they are not (we know that none of the authors is a perfect match, but thought they were worth a try):</div><div><br></div><div>
Ruth Underhill</div><div><a>Theodora Kroeber <br></a></div><div><a><br></a></div><div><a>Less likely, we also asked the patron about:<br></a></div><div><a>
Gladys_Reichard</a></div><div><a>Elsie Clews Parsons <br></a></div><div><a>Ruth Benedict</a></div><div><a>Beatrice Medicine </a></div><div><a>
<em></em></a>Margaret Mead
</div><div><a><br></a></div><div>
The patron replied with this additional information:</div><div><br></div><div>The author
had a child as a young unmarried woman; probably during the 20s or
30s. Our patron probably read the author's books in
the 1970s
</div><div><br></div><div></div><div>
We're guessing that the author may not have been an
'official'/credentialed anthropologist and so might not be included on lists of anthropologists that we have searched.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for any help you can give us with this stumper!<br></div><div><br>
