Elsie Clews Parsons
Informed by a modernist and feminist approach to cultural anthropology, this work draws on a wide range of cultural texts and on the author's own experiences to argue that the fear of change in American society prompted many social conventions such as gift giving, hospitality and sexual taboos.
