Frances Toor
Frances Toor (1890–1956) was an American author, publisher,
anthropologist and
ethnographer who wrote mainly about
Mexico and Mexican indigenous cultures. She earned a B.A. and an M.A. in anthropology from
University of California at Berkeley. She moved to
Mexico City in 1922, influenced by her husband, dentist Joseph L. Weinberger, who also served as director of the
B'nai B'rith office in Mexico City. In 1925, she founded the journal ''Mexican Folkways'' (published until 1937).
She would eventually be referred to as "the gringa folklorista."
