Simone de Beauvoir

Hi everyone, in this post  I’m going to talk about Simone de Beauvoir. She was born on January 9^th in Paris. She was a writer, professor and French philosopher. She wrote novels, essays, biographies and monographs on political, social and philosophical topics. Her thinking is part of existentialism and some works, such as “The second sex”, are considered foundational elements of feminism.

She was the Jean  Paul Sartre’s couple and together founded the “Modern Time” magazine whose first issue was published on October  15^th, 1945 and was transformed into a political and cultural reference half of twentieth-century French thought. Later, published the novell  “All men are mortal” (1946) , “Trials for a moral ambiguity” and  “America a day” (1948).

Her second book “The second sex” (1949), as I mentioned earlier, it meant a theoretical starting point for different feminist groups, and became a classic of contemporary thought. In it he developed a story about the social status of women and analyzed the different characteristics of male oppression. 

I like her because she was really cool!
