Feminist Interpretations of Simone de Beauvoir (Re-Reading the Canon)

by Margaret A. Simons

Feminist Interpretations of Simone de Beauvoir (Re-Reading the Canon) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Feminist scholars reacted to news of Beauvoir's death in 1986 by initiating a reevaluation of her life's work, a task encouraged by Sylvie Le Bon de Beauvoir, her adopted daughter, who edited for posthumous publication many of Beauvoir's personal notebooks and letters to Sartre. Some of the most exciting new interpretations of Beauvoir's philosophy that have resulted are brought together here for the first time; many of them, indeed, were written expressly for this first volume of essays on Beauvoir's philosophy written since her death.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [299]-307) and index.
