The Second Sex — Simone de Beauvoir
1 in stock
Description
'The Second Sex' by Simone de Beauvoir is a landmark work of twentieth-century philosophy, examining the historical, social and cultural conditions that have shaped women's lives. Drawing on philosophy, history, literature, psychology and anthropology, Beauvoir investigates how women have been defined in relation to men and how social expectations influence women's opportunities and sense of self. The work famously explores the distinction between biological sex and the social construction of femininity, as well as themes of freedom, sexuality, marriage, motherhood and economic independence. First published in French in 1949 as 'Le Deuxième Sexe', it became one of the foundational texts of modern feminist thought.
