The Second Sex (French: Le Deuxième Sexe, June 1949) is one of the best known works of the French existentialist Simone de Beauvoir.  It is a work on the treatment of women throughout history and often regarded as a major work of feminist literature.  In it she argues that women throughout history have been defined as the “other” sex, an aberration from the “normal” male sex.
