In 1946, Simone de Beauvoir began to outline what she thought would be an autobiographical essay explaining why, when she had tried to define herself, the first sentence that came to mind was âI am a woman.â That October, my maiden aunt, Beauvoirâs contemporary, came to visit me in the hospital nursery. I was a day old, and she found a little tag on my bassinet that announced, âItâs a Girl!â In the next bassinet was another newborn (âa lot punier,â she recalled), whose little tag announced, âIâm a Boy!â There we lay, innocent of a distinctionâ" between a female object and a male subjectâ" that would shape our destinies. It would also shape Beauvoirâs great treatise on the subject. The Second Sex deals with the treatment of women throughout history and is regarded as a major work of feminist philosophy and the starting point of second-wave feminism. Literary scholar Camille Paglia praised The Second Sex, calling it "brilliant" and "the supreme work of modern feminism." Named by Modern Library as one of top 100 books of non- fiction of the twentieth century. Also named by The Times Literary Supplement as one of the most hundred influential books since World War II.
