Simone de Beauvoir

1908–1986

Simone de Beauvoir (1908–1986) was a French existentialist philosopher, feminist theorist, and writer, best known for her groundbreaking work 'The Second Sex' (1949), which laid the foundation for modern feminist thought. A lifelong companion of Jean-Paul Sartre, she developed a philosophy of freedom, ethics, and the social construction of gender, emphasizing the concept of 'the Other' and the imperative of authentic choice. Her work spans novels, memoirs, and philosophical essays, all marked by a rigorous commitment to existentialist ethics and a critique of patriarchal structures.
