“The Second Sex” by Simone de Beauvoir is a groundbreaking work of feminist philosophy that was first published in 1949. In this seminal text, de Beauvoir explores the social and existential condition of women, offering a comprehensive analysis of their historical and contemporary oppression. The book is structured into two volumes: “Facts and Myths” and “Lived Experience,” where de Beauvoir examines the construction of femininity, the impact of biology, and the ways in which women have been relegated to the “other” throughout history. Central to the book is the concept of women’s “Otherness” and the assertion that women have been defined in relation to men rather than as autonomous individuals. De Beauvoir’s work has had a profound influence on feminist theory, serving as a foundational text that challenges traditional notions of gender and advocates for the liberation of women from societal constraints.
