《薩摩亞人的成年》
瑪格麗特·米德 1928年
上榜理由：關于她本人對性的困惑和渴望的創(chuàng)作。
瑪格麗特·米德，美國文化和人類學家，通過薩摩亞之旅，回答了在20世紀20年代的美國所引起的性的問題（尤其給了女性讀者參考）。不幸的是，對于米德而言，接受她采訪的薩摩亞人告訴她男女混交這些放蕩的故事，她如實地作了報道。后來，其中的一位女孩說：“她本該對此態(tài)度謹慎嚴肅，我不過只是開開玩笑。正如你所知，當開玩笑時，薩摩亞的姑娘可都是非常棒的說謊者。但瑪格麗特卻對我們編造出來的故事信以為真。”如果米德對她們有所質疑，姑娘們會毫不猶豫地告訴她實情，可米德卻從未提出疑問。維基百科中有這樣一段文字：“跨文化比較的作用極有影響力，突出強調了在西方社會出現的問題，加強了對美國的人類學和人種學的研究的意識，貢獻頗豐?！庇腥さ氖牵椎略趯W術方面得到高度評價，并稱她對1979年美國圣公會出版的公禱書（英國宗教）的形成產生了很大作用。
Coming of Age in Samoa
Margaret Mead, 1928
On the list because: it turned out to be a creation of her own sexual confusions and aspirations
Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist who traveled to Samoa to answer the questions on sexuality posed in America in the 1920s （particularly with reference to women）. Unfortunately for Mead, the youths she interviewed in Samoa told her wild tales of sexual promiscuity and Mead reported it all as fact. One of the girls later said: “She must have taken it seriously, but I was only joking. As you know, Samoan girls are terrific liars when it comes to joking. But Margaret accepted our trumped up stories as though they were true.” If challenged by Mead, the girls would not have hesitated to tell the truth, but Mead never questioned their stories. According to Wikipedia: “The use of cross-cultural comparison to highlight issues within Western society was highly influential, and contributed greatly to the heightened awareness of Anthropology and Ethnographic study in the USA.” Interestingly, Mead was a highly regarded academic and had a large part in the formulation of the 1979 American Book of Common Prayer （Church of England）.
