Beauvoir in Time situates Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex in the historical context of its writing and in later contexts of its international reception, from then till now. The book takes up three aspects of Beauvoir's work more recent feminists find embarrassing: "bad sex," "dated" views about lesbians, and intersections with race and class. Through close reading of her writing in many genres, alongside contemporaneous discourses (good and bad novels in French and English, outmoded psychoanalytic and sexological authorities, ethnographic surrealism, the writing of Richard Wright and Franz Fanon), and in light of her travels to the U.S. and China, the author uncovers insights more recent feminist methodologies obscure, showing Beauvoir is still good to think with today.

"To what extent is Simone de Beauvoir's study The Second Sex still relevant? From her work it emerges that patriarchy is a many-headed monster. Over the past decades, various heads of this monster have been slayed: important breakthroughs have been achieved by and for women in law, politics, and economics. Today, however, we witness movements in the opposite direction, such as a masculinist political revival in different parts of the world, the spread of the neoliberal myth of the Super Woman, the rise of transnational networks of trafficking in women and children, and a new international 'Jihadism'. This suggests that patriarchy is indeed a Hydra: a multi-headed monster that grows several new heads every time one head is cut off. Since different--often hybrid--heads of patriarchy dominate in different settings, feminism requires a variety of strategies. Women's movements all over the world today are critically creating new models of self and society in their own contexts. Drawing on notions of Beauvoir, as well as Michel Foucault, this book outlines a 'feminism in a new key' which consists of women's various freedom practices, each hunting the Hydra in their own key--but with mutual support"--Publisher's description.

Simone de Beauvoir ou les chemins de la liberté, par Élisabeth Badinter Élisabeth Badinter, revendiquant "un point de vue hautement subjectif " interroge le destin de Simone de Beauvoir qui, "libre comme l'air", s'est efforcée d'inventer une relation libre, authentique et égalitaire avec Sartre. Elle met en lumière l'importance du Deuxième Sexe, qui "me paraît plus nécessaire que jamais, non seulement pour retrouver un modèle de combativité et d'indépendance d'esprit, mais parce qu'à ce jour je ne connais pas une philosophie plus libératrice pour les femmes que celle qui préside à cet ouvrage. Il est simple et tient en quelques mots : méfiez-vous de l'argument naturaliste." Marguerite Yourcenar, lectrice et juge de son œuvre. Attentive à l'extrême, par Lucette Finas Ce sous-titre, "attentive à l'extrême", nous le construisons de deux façons. D'une part il signifie : "extrêmement attentive", comme Yourcenar l'est à tout et en tout ; d'autre part : "attentive à ce qui est extrême, tendue vers ce qui repousse nos limites". Qualité d'une exigence, qualité d'une décision. Yourcenar en effet décide, tranche calmement. Ce geste va bien au-delà du trait de caractère : nous nous apercevrons qu'il conduit à une esthétique." Nathalie Sarraute ou l'obscur commencement, par Jacques Lassalle Revenant sur un texte qu'il avait écrit à propos du Silence et de Elle est là en 1993 lorsque le Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier devenait la deuxième salle de la Comédie-Française, le metteur en scène Jacques Lassalle propose ici une réflexion très personnelle sur l'œuvre de Nathalie Sarraute, mêlée de "digressions intercalaires" qui empruntent à ses souvenirs de répétitions et à ses conversations avec l'auteur.
