Simone De Beauvoir And Feminism

Simone de Beauvoir as an outstanding representative of feminism received widespread attention and study. Former French President Francois Mitterrand called her "France and the world’s most outstanding writers". Her theory book," The Second Sex" has had a broad impact, become the Bible of women’s liberation. As a feminist classic, it makes the majority of women begin to recognize their own situation, and efforts to get rid of the "other" status, the struggle for their own liberation. Today, women’s issues still exist, modern woman began to abolish female myth towards independent living, but they do not have free and complete life. They live in a woman’s world; marriage is the majority of them can not change fate. The prestige of the man still did not disappear; it is still built on a solid economic and social basis. The impact of the patriarchal society of the presence of women has become a gradual default culture exists; it enables a women to become slaves and vassals. So women have to get rid of their status, in addition to rely on their own efforts and social progress, an equal and mutual recognition culture environment is necessary. Because women are changed into instead of being born, so women’s liberation is possible. We need to create a harmonious atmosphere for women; only in this way, women can get an equal opportunity with men to achieve their own liberation. When sex is no longer a factor of social stratification, both men and women will get equal status and achieve the ideal survival state.
