Sex in Question: French materialist feminism - Magpie - Aug 31 2025
Quote:First published in 1996. Since the publication of Simone de Beauvoir's "The Second Sex", French feminist thought has informed and shaped the on-going debates in the English-speaking world. This book introduces English speakers to the work of a major group of French feminists - those de Beauvoir herself supported.
