Notable Contributions

Few books have shaken the world quite like Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex (1949), in which she famously declared, "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman". She was the intellectual backbone of the modern feminist movement, championing abortion rights, equal education and women's economic independence. She signed the famous Manifesto of the 343 in 1971, calling for the legalization of abortion in France.

Honors/Awards

Prix Goncourt (1954); included in TIME's 100 Women of the Year; golden statue erected in Paris as part of the 2024 Olympic Games' "Sororité" tribute
