Simone de Beauvoir
Simone de Beauvoir was a French existentialist philosopher, writer, and feminist, best known for her groundbreaking work 'The Second Sex', which explores the construction of women's oppression and the nature of femininity. Born in 1908, de Beauvoir's ideas have significantly influenced feminist theory and gender studies. She was also a lifelong partner of Jean-Paul Sartre, and her literary works often reflect her philosophical inquiries into freedom, ethics, and the complexities of human relationships.
