  • More about Two Against the Tide: The shared career and lost legacy of Brenda and Charles Seligman

Charles Seligman's invitation to his wife, Brenda, to share his tent in 1907 sanctioned a professional place for female fieldworkers in anthropology, making him a pioneering pioneer of ethnographic work in Oceania and Africa. Despite his achievements, the Seligman legacy was deleted from the institution he began 80 years after his death.

Publisher: Berghahn Books


Charles Seligman, a groundbreaking pioneer of ethnographic work in Oceania and Africa, invited his wife, Brenda, to share his tent in 1907, sanctioning a professional place for female fieldworkers in anthropology. Seligman treated shellshocked soldiers, amassed museum collections, and fathered a generation of exceptional students. Brenda, his first student, became a scholar in her own right. Eighty years after his death, the Seligman legacy was deleted from the institution he began. Two Against the Tide explores how Charles and Brenda Seligman built a shared career through secret benevolence and silent endurance of hardship.
