Antes de Franz Boas:mujeres pioneras de la antropología norteamericana

Abstract

One consequence of the impact of the feminist movement in anthropological theory and practice was the recovery of the life and work of women who, despite occupying a peripheral site, made significant contributions to the field. In this paper I focus on the trajectories of these pioneers who, in a time of fast socioeconomic changes (last decades or xix Century and the early xx Century) and despite they were self taught, were fundamental to the professionalization of anthropology.
