Notes: Benedict (1887-1948).  If there is a godmother of “woke” it is Ruth Benedict.  Student of Elsie Clews Parsons and Franz Boas, mentor to Margaret Mead.  Her “Patterns of Culture” is a chestnut in anthropological circles.  For an excellent short course on Benedict see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Benedict  This is the long version.
