Quotes by Simone de Beauvoir 5

Simone Lucie-Ernestine-Marie-Bertrand de Beauvoir, 1908 - 1986. French writer and feminist, a member of the intellectual fellowship of philosopher-writers who have given a literary transcription to the themes of Existentialism. She is known primarily for her treatise Le Deuxième Sexe, 2 vol. (1949; The Second Sex), a scholarly and passionate plea for the abolition of what she called the myth of the “eternal feminine.”
