Philosophical, literary, rebellious, Simone de Beauvoir spoke a mile a minute, and wrote quickly, too — novels, essays, a play and four memoirs. She was an atheist, bisexual and pioneer feminist. When she died in 1986 she was globally recognised as the founder of modern feminism. Her pioneering study of women's situation, The Second Sex, published in 1949 in France, revolutionised the ways in which the relationship between gender identity and power was thought about. As science historian Donna Haraway stated, ‘all the modern feminist meanings of gender have roots in Simone de Beauvoir’s claim that “one is not born a woman but rather becomes one”.
Drawing on an eclectic mix of existentialist philosophy, anthropology, biology, Marxism and psychoanalysis, The Second Sex remains both a classic in the history of western ideas and influential for new generations of people who are keen to understand the significance of gender identity in the contemporary world. In this talk, writer and historian Ursula Tidd explores Beauvoir’s key ideas about gender, identity and power, outlining what they can offer the gender revolutions of the 21st century.
