A great woman

Simone de Beauvoir (1904-1986) was a French woman philosopher, writer, novelist existentialist, but the most important is that she was one of the promoters of feminism. She partnered with Jean Paul Sartre; she met him at the Sorbonne when both were studying philosophy there. Simone de Beauvoir was one of the founders of the magazine "Modern Times", with Albert Camus and Jean Paul Sartre. She was an early feminist who wrote at a time much more difficult for women than the present time, she had to face a "man's world." In one of his most important works is “The Second Sex”, an essay that talks about the historical role of women and explains why our society limited them in many areas, for example the job, the maternity an others. This paper became a classic of contemporary thought and serves as a theoretical basis for many feminist groups began to fight for women's demands. Simone de Beauvoir was an exemplary woman who made significant contributions to women’s liberation. There are still many things to do, she is still not completely free of "machismo" and prejudice of society, but following the example of people like Simone we can break down those barriers.
