The world-renowned anthropologist and writer lived in this house and graduated in 1918 from Doylestown High School. Among her most famous works are "Coming of Age in Samoa" (1928) and "Male and Female" (1949).
Margaret Mead was raised in Doylestown, the same town as James Michener. I wonder if they knew each other??? They where born 7 years apart!
