Margaret Mead wrote and published under the name "Margaret Mead," and was never particularly identified through any of her husbands or companions. To call her as this entry does Margaret Bateson after the no less illustrious Gregory her third husband is to diminish her public renown as Margaret Mead: might her name be restored? Thank you for considering this.

Margaret Bateson was her legal name, but of course she is best known as Margaret Mead. So I’ve entered that as her “Display name.”
