French writer Simone de Beauvoir was born 100 years ago this month. Does her message still resonate today? On the next Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about de Beauvoir’s life and work. One of the most preeminent French existentialist philosophers and writers, her seminal work, The Second Sex, has become a classic in feminist literature. What is the significance of her work today? How far have women come since the publication of her book in 1949? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guest:
Nancy Bauer, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University in Boston. She is the author of Simone de Beauvoir: The Making of an Intellectual Woman.
Toril Moi, James B. Duke Professor of Literature and Romance Studies at Duke University. She is the author of Simone de Beauvoir, Philosophy, and Feminism.
