Synopsis "El segundo sexo (in Spanish)"

En 1986, en medio del cortejo de diez mil personas que despidió a Simone de Beauvoir, la historiadora Élisabeth Badinter estalló en llanto gritándoles a las mujeres de la multitud: "¡Le deben todo!". La frase fue repitiéndose, cantándose en diferentes lenguas, renovando los sollozos. ¿Se puede esperar un efecto similar entre las jóvenes que lean hoy El segundo sexo? Aparecido por primera vez en mayo de 1949, terminó por convertirse en el Libro Rojo de la nueva feminidad, dando la buena noticia de que ser mujer no es una esencia ni un destino. A casi setenta años de su publicación, El segundo sexo es una obra de lectura obligatoria para hombres y mujeres. Esta nueva edición, con el prólogo que escribió María Moreno en 1999, demuestra que aún queda mucho por hacer y que la voz de Simone de Beauvoir sigue más vigente que nunca.   «¿En qué habrá afectado a nuestra existencia el hecho de ser mujeres? ¿Qué oportunidades, exactamente, nos han sido dadas y cuáles nos han sido negadas? ¿Qué pueden esperar nuestras hermanas más jóvenes y en qué sentido hay que orientarlas? Es chocante que el conjunto de la literatura femenina esté animado en nuestros días mucho menos por una voluntad de reivindicación que por un esfuerzo de lucidez; al salir de una era de desordenadas polémicas, este libro es una tentativa, entre otras, de recapitular la cuestión.» Simone de Beauvoir

View Author's Page
English writer and journalist, Daniel Defoe is mainly known for his novel Robinson Crusoe (1719), though he also stood out for his role in the development of the press and for his political and social essays

Defoe left his studies to become a discreet businessman, whose activities were not entirely profitable, even receiving prison time for his debts

From 1695, after several years of exile due to his political ideology, he starts a new business dedicated to tiles and bricks which begins to work, providing his family—he was married and had six children—with greater economic stability

However, his political activism leads him to publish several essays or pamphlets that cost him days of imprisonment and the pillory. After returning to jail, Defoe begins working from a magazine supporting political factions of the government, participating in the English secret services

In 1719 he publishes his great novel, Robinson Crusoe, which allows him to launch into a literary career marked by successes such as The Adventures of Captain Singleton, A Journal of the Plague Year, or Moll Flanders. His popularity grew and his influence on subsequent generations of writers by enhancing the novelistic genre is notable

Despite all his success and his connections with the government, Defoe never achieved stable economic solvency for long. His death in 1731 occurred while fleeing from new creditors

Simone de Beauvoir

View Author's Page
Simone de Beauvoir (Paris, January 9, 1908 – April 14, 1986) was one of the most influential philosophers, writers, and essayists of the 20th century, a key figure in existentialism and an international reference in feminism. She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne, where she met Jean-Paul Sartre, with whom she maintained a famous intellectual and personal relationship that would mark her life and thought. She published fundamental works such as The Second Sex (1949), considered a pillar of modern feminism, in which she analyzes the social construction of women from an existentialist perspective, and novels like She Came to Stay (1943) and The Mandarins (1954), the latter awarded the prestigious Goncourt Prize.

Throughout her career, De Beauvoir combined philosophical reflection, social analysis, and autobiography in more than twenty books, among which stand out Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, The Prime of Life, The Woman Destroyed, and Adieux: A Farewell to Sartre. She was internationally recognized with distinctions such as the Jerusalem Prize (1975) and the Austrian State Prize for European Literature (1978), and left an essential legacy in the fight for gender equality and human rights. Her thought and activism continue to inspire generations of readers, intellectuals, and freedom advocates.
