About the author

Simone de Beauvoir

French existentialist philosopher and feminist whose The Second Sex is the founding text of modern feminism. She analyzed how women are constructed as the Other in a world defined by men, and argued for women's freedom and authentic selfhood. Her lifelong partnership with Sartre was itself a philosophical experiment in freedom.
