TARDUCCI, Mónica. Antes de Franz Boas: mujeres pioneras de la antropología norteamericana. Runa [online]. 2015, vol.36, n.2, pp.57-73. ISSN 1851-9628.

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.
