Simone de Beauvoir’s groundbreaking feminist masterpiece, Das Andere Geschlecht, presents a sweeping, fearless examination of what it means to be a woman in a world historically defined by male power. First published in German in 1956, this edition brings her influential voice to a wider European audience, delivering one of the most important works of 20th-century philosophy and gender theory.
De Beauvoir explores the roots of female oppression through history, biology, psychoanalysis, literature, and personal experience, dismantling the myths that have shaped society’s understanding of womanhood. With unflinching intellect and passionate clarity, she argues that one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman—challenging generations of assumptions and sparking a global feminist movement.
This German-language edition is ideal for readers interested in the international reach of feminist literature, collectors of significant philosophical works, or those seeking to engage with de Beauvoir’s ideas in translation. A landmark title that continues to resonate with power and purpose.
