Powdermaker writes that she will be be happy to speak at Rugg's All-College Luncheon Forum. "Would you like me to talk about the 'Relationship of Hollywood to American Life' or 'The Relationship of Movies to American Life'" or something else?"Hortense Powdermaker [1900-1970] was an American anthropologist, best known for her ethnographic studies of African Americans in Indianola, Mississippi and of Hollywood. After studying at Goucher College and working as a labor organizer for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, she left the United States to study at the London School of Economics. While at LSE she worked under and was influenced by several well-known anthropologists, including Bronislaw Malinowski, who persuaded her to pursue doctoral studies.
