«Sexe i temperament en tres societats primitives» is the essay by Margaret Mead, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (352 pages, in Catalan).
The work studies the lives of three New Guinea communities —Arapesh, Mundugumor, and Tchambuli— and analyses how each culture attributes different traits to men and women. Mead argues that behaviour considered masculine or feminine is above all a product of education and social convention, not a direct consequence of biology.
The book was originally published in 1935 under the title «Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies». It is part of the collection «Clàssics del Pensament Modern».
Recommended for readers interested in social anthropology, sociology, and the classic debate on the cultural construction of gender.
Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist, author and speaker, who appeared frequently in the mass media during the mid-twentieth century.
