Acknowledged by many feminists as the single most important
theoretical work of the twentieth century, Simone de Beauvoir's The
Second Sex (1949) nevertheless occupies an anomalous place in the
feminist "canon." Yet it has had an undeniable impact, not only on
the development of critiques of sexual politics but on
twentieth-century western thinking about the concept of "woman" in
general.This collection of six new essays by scholars from the
disciplines of French, English literature, history, cultural
criticism, feminist theory and philosophy makes a valuable
contribution to the task of re-reading and reassessing this
enormously influential text for a new generation of feminist
readers, and also for cultural theorists, for whom the question of
"the feminine" is at the centre of key debates in philosophy and
postmodernity.The contributors provide a significantly new
rethinking of the place of The Second Sex in cultural history and
of women and representation, the role of "fictions" and the problem
of ethical agency in the work of the leading intellectual woman of
this age.
