Description
Summary:In the course of her personal trajectory as well as in her research work on Simone de Beauvoir carried out over many years, the author rereads the chapter "The Lesbian" in The Second Sex, putting into evidence the most explosive aspects of the work, as well as its weaknesses. It will be the occasion to go back to the work's reception and to the constructionists' resistances to the theories and arguments raised by Beauvoir. It will be, in a more general manner, the occasion to question contemporary approaches, queer among others, in the "classics" of lesbian literature and to (re)discover the "strenghth" of Beauvoir and of her works.
