Simone de Beauvoir(1908 – 1986) Full name: Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir. A French writer, philosopher, political activist, feminist and social theorist. She had a significant influence on both feminist existentialism and feminist theory, most famous for her treatise "The Second Sex". This has always been a man's world, and none of the reasons that have been offered in explanation have seemed adequate. To catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job. Why one man rather than another? It was odd. You find yourself involved with a fellow for life just because he was the one that you met when you were nineteen. |
