The book takes up three aspects of Beauvoir's work more recent feminists find embarrassing: "bad sex," "dated" views about lesbians, and intersections with race and class. Through close reading of her writing in many genres, alongside contemporaneous discourses (good and bad novels in French and English, outmoded psychoanalytic and sexological authorities, ethnographic surrealism, the writing of Richard Wright and Franz Fanon), and in light of her travels to the U.S. and China, the author uncovers insights more recent feminist methodologies obscure, showing Beauvoir is still good to think with today. 410 0$aValue Inquiry Book Series ;$v348. 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions 610 $aSocial & political philosophy 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.4/2/01 700 $aAltman$b Meryl$0995222 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476895603321 996 $aBeauvoir in Time$92279936 997 $aUNINA
