Simone de Beauvoir - The Second Sex

description Simone de Beauvoir - The Second Sex Overview

While a monumental work of feminist theory, *The Second Sex* is deeply existentialist. Beauvoir applies existential principles to gender, arguing that woman has historically been defined as the 'Other' relative to the male subject. It masterfully shows how societal structures limit freedom by imposing pre-defined essences, demanding that women claim their own subjective existence.
