Review: The second sex There are a lot of famous male philosophers but we know very little about the females thinkers, we rarely notice them but I now for sure they exist, one of them is Simone de Beauvoir , I`m speakin in present tense because her words are still resounding among young women. She was a woman who broke a lot paradigms about how women should be like and she decided to live her life always being faithful to herself no matter what, I recognize that It takes a lot of courage, I admire that. She wrote a lot of books but her master piece, in my opnion, was "The second sex". She wrote about the construct of the word "women" throughout human history, she mentions that we didn`t born as women, we have been made women by cultural ideas that have existed since human race was concious of their own existance . According to Simone men have been attempting to define what a women is like , but that paradigm changes a little bit time by time. Starting from that idea Simone is opening for us a new perspective, a new way of thinking : what you think a women or a men are, That`s what they are not. Our ideas of what men or women are is not veracious because we all have learned what that word means thanks to our society, our parents, or techers, our friends. If we think about it the paradigms could freeze us in a defnition that doesn`t belong entirely to us therefore we have the chance to construct ourselves day by day no matter what society dictates, we are unique persons that mustn`t define ourselves, we aren not defined beings, we are selfs emerging in life every moment, that is called freedom. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I`m practising my english and I`ll appreciate any corrections and sugestions . Have a nice day.
