• Sommario/riassunto: In a compelling chronicle of her search to understand Beauvoir's philosophy in The Second Sex, Margaret A.

She details the discovery of the origins of Beauvoir's ; existential philosophy in her hand-written diary from 1927; uncovers evidence of the sexist exclusion of Beauvoir from the philosophical canon; reveals evidence that the African-American writer Richard Wright provided Beauvoir with the theoretical model of oppression that she used in The Second Sex; shows the influence of The Secon
