Mary Douglas (1921-2007) was one of the leading anthropologists of her generation. She studied anthropology at Oxford University before undertaking fieldwork with the Lele people in the Congo. She completed her doctorate in 1952 and accepted an appointment at University College London, where she was instrumental in establishing the department, remaining for twenty-five years. Her first book, Purity and Danger (1966), studied the concepts of pollution and taboo and is regarded as a classic of social anthropology. From the mid-1970s to 1980s she held a variety of appointments in the United States, in New York and Northwestern University, Illinois. She was elected a fellow of the British Academy in 1989 and made a distinguished fellow of University College London in 1994. In 1992 she was appointed CBE, and later DBE in 2007.
