Trude Scarlett Epstein OBE (1922 – 27 April 2014), née Grünwald, was a British-Austrian social anthropologist and economist. Born in Vienna to a Jewish family, she became a refugee following the Nazi annexation of Austria and settled in Britain. There she completed a PhD in economics under the supervision of social anthropologist Max Gluckman, the founder of the "Manchester School". Described as one of the "pioneers" of development studies, her work focused in particular on rural economies and women's activities, and drew on fieldwork in Karnataka, India and Papua New Guinea.[1][2] She was married to social anthropologist Bill Epstein.[3]
