Lamphere received her Ph.D. from [[Harvard]] in 1968. She has published extensively throughout her career on subjects as diverse as the [[Navajo people|Navajo]] and their medicinal practices and [[de-industrialisation]] and [[urban anthropology]]; nonetheless she is possibly best known for her work on [[feminist anthropology]] and [[gender]] issues.
 
Lamphere was the co-editor, with Michele[[Michelle Rosaldo |Michelle Zimbalist Rosaldo]], of ''[[Woman, Culture, and Society]]'', the first volume to address the anthropological study of gender and women's status. In the 1970s, after being denied tenure at [[Brown University]], Lamphere brought a class action suit against Brown.
