Jean Liedloff (November 26, 1926 – March 15, 2011)[1] was an American author, born in New York, and best known for her 1975 book The Continuum Concept.
Born in New York City in 1926, as a teenager she accomplished the Drew Seminary for Young Women[citation needed] and began studying at Cornell University, but began her expeditions before she could graduate.
During a diamond-hunting expedition to Venezuela, she came into contact with an indigenous people named the Yequana. Over time she became fascinated with the Yequana, and made a decision to return to Venezuela to live with them. She wrote her book The Continuum Concept in an attempt to document the Yequana way of life, in particular their style of child-rearing.
From 1968 to 1970 she edited The Ecologist.[citation needed]
Liedloff died on March 15, 2011 in Sausalito, California.[2]
