In the early twentieth century, the field of anthropology transformed itself from the "welcoming science”, uniquely open to women, people of colour, and amateurs, into a professional science of culture. The new field grew in rigour and prestige but excluded practitioners and methods that no longer fit a narrow standard of scientific legitimacy. In this title, Risa Applegarth traces the "rhetorical archeology” of this transformation in the writings of early women anthropologists.
