The 1949 book The Second Sex (Le Deuxième Sexe) by the French existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir explores how women have been treated throughout history and in modern society. Between 1946 and 1949, Beauvoir spent over 14 months conducting research and writing the book. Facts and Myths and Lived Experience are the two volumes of her work that were released. First published in the journal Les Temps Modernes, several chapters.
The Second Sex, one of Beauvoir's most well-known and divisive books (restricted by the Vatican), is recognised as a ground-breaking work of feminist philosophy and the source of second-wave feminism's initial inspiration. [7]
