Simone de Beauvoir was a French philosopher, writer, and feminist whose work profoundly shaped feminist theory. Her most influential text, The Second Sex (1949), examined the societal construction of women as “the Other” in a male-dominated world. Beauvoir argued that gender inequality is not biologically determined, but a product of social and cultural forces, and that women must break free from these constraints to achieve true freedom and equality. Her declaration, “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman,” highlighted the importance of personal agency and the need for women to define themselves outside of traditional roles. Beauvoir’s feminist role is central to the development of existential feminism, advocating for women’s autonomy, liberation, and the dismantling of oppressive structures.
