About The Second Sex

Beauvoir's 1949 masterwork of feminist philosophy — in two volumes — argues that femininity is not a natural condition but a social construction, opening with the observation that woman has always been defined as man's Other, and coining the sentence 'On ne naît pas femme: on le devient.'
