<br/><br/> The Second Sex represents the perfect marriage of a supremely gifted, rigorously trained philosophical and literary temperament - that possessed by its author, Simone de Beauvior - and a subject - a biological, historical, and social condition of twenthieth-century women - sufficiently large in scope and meaning to be worthy of such a mind.  By single-handedly modernizing the intellectural foundations of feminism, de Beauvior paved the way for the astonishing transformations in secual politics that have come to define our era.
