 Her听feminism, her ideas and her legacy for modern France.
Had she lived, Simone de Beauvoir would have turned 100 this month. When 'The Second Sex' was published in 1949, it scandalised conservative French society, but its central idea that "one is not born a woman, but becomes one" opened the minds of a generation of women and has gripped women readers ever since. We look听at her life and ideas,听and her legacy for women today, in France and beyond.
Jenni talks to writer and feminist Michele Roberts,听Professor of French Literature at the University of Oxford Elizabeth Fallaize, Nabila Ramdani, a lecturer who has taught in both Paris and Oxford, and 听Kate Smurthwaite, feminist blogger and writer. They are joined, from Paris,听by Simone's friend Claudine Monteil, founder of the French Women鈥檚 Liberation Movement, and Agnes Poirier, a French journalist based in London.
