Woman, Culture, and Society, first published in 1974 (Stanford University Press), is a book consisting of 16 papers contributed by female authors and an introduction by the editors Michelle Zimbalist Rosaldo and Louise Lamphere.

It is considered to be a pioneering work.
The book features a number of widely cited essays including:
The title of the book alludes to the gendered nature of a prior anthropological text, Man, Culture, and Society.
