Simone de Beauvoir (1908 - 1986) wrote The Second Sex in 1949, and it seems is still relevant today. I will ask Julia questions about the book and de Beauvoir's reasons for writing it. We will look at de Beauvour's early life and times at the Sorbonne; her personal and intellectual relationship with Jean-Paul Sartre; and her "take" on existentialism, including whether it differed from that of Sartre and if so in what way.
