Microblog #31, "Coming of Age in Samoa, Chapter 10"

Summary
This chapter gives brief profiles of several of the girls Dr. Mead studied. The focus seems to be on their sex lives, although some other elements are mentioned as well.

Discussion
What we have here is a long list of things I did not and do not want to know regarding the, ahem, "details" of life in early 20th c. Samoa. However, if I had to extract one interesting thing from this chapter, it would be the differences in temperment and skills of the girls from the biological families vs. the large Samoan ones.
