First published in 1949, Simone de Beauvoir’s seminal work provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical, social, and philosophical construction of womanhood. By applying existentialist frameworks to the status of women, the text interrogates the mechanisms of 'otherness' and the cultural structures that have historically marginalized the female experience in Western society.
