Description

Simone de Beauvoir's groundbreaking work, first published in 1949, challenged societal norms and sparked a fight for female equality. The book's central argument, that 'One is not born, but rather becomes, woman', had a profound impact on generations of women.

These pages contain the key passages of the book that changed perceptions of women forever. Translated by Constance Borde and Sheila Malovany-Chevallier, with an introduction by Martine Reid, this Vintage Feminism Short Edition provides a concise and accessible introduction to de Beauvoir's influential ideas.

Originally published to outrage and scandal, de Beauvoir's work remains a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of feminism and women's rights. This edition is an essential introduction to a foundational text of feminist philosophy.
