{{more citations needed|date=January 2017}}Edith Turner (June 17, 1921 – June 18, 2016) was an English-American anthropologist, poet, and post-secondary educator. The spouse of anthropologist Victor Witter Turner ("Vic"; 1920–1983), "Edie" Turner was accomplished in her own right. In addition to collaborating with her husband on a number of early socio-cultural research projects concerning healing, ritual and communitas, she continued to develop these topics following his death in 1983, especially communitas. Edith Turner contributed to the study of humanistic anthropology and was a dedicated social activist her entire life.^[1]
