This work is the second in the 'Seminar Studies in Anthropology' series and is written by British anthropologist Dr Marilyn Strathern. Strathern has worked extensively with the Mount Hagen people of Papua New Guinea and specialises in feminist anthropology. This work, which was Strathern's doctoral thesis, takes a look at traditional New Guinea societies and examines the women's status and relations between the sexes. Strathern spent a lot of time amongst the people of Papua New Guinea, giving her work an ethnographical approach and a better understanding of the culture.
