| Sumario: | Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex, published in 1974 became a classic book and is still being read nowadays. This Essay analyses the history of this book; the intellectual context it was inspired from, its essential line of thinking and how was it welcome from readers; also the shock it meant when it was first published in France, its echoes in Spain and the subsequent readings. The famous sentence ‘You are not born a woman, you become a woman’, which was endorsed by Feminism in the 1970’s, summarizes well the political and epistemological value of a book that, even today, inspires to think about the future of women. |
