description | 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. |

El segundo sexo de Simone de Beauvoir, publicado en 1947, es hoy un clásico del feminismo que se sigue leyendo. En el artículo se analiza la historia de este libro; el contexto intelectual que lo inspiró, los trazos esenciales de su pensamiento y la recepción; el escándalo que produjo su aparición, en Francia, los ecos en España y las lecturas posteriores del libro. “No se nace mujer; se llega a serlo” , la conocida frase que el feminismo haría suya, en los años setenta, resume bien el valor, epistemológico y político, de un libro que, aún hoy, sirve de inspiración para pensar el devenir de las mujeres. 2018-08-27 2022-03-16T20:16:48Z 2022-03-16T20:16:48Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion texto https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe053 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/33914 spa https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe053/9720 https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe053/9787 https://www.descentrada.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/DESe053/9760 text/html application/pdf application/epub+zip Centro Interdisciplinario de Investigaciones en Género.
