Abstract

In this chapter I complete my survey of critical responses to The Second Sex. This survey is intended to be comprehensive, and at the same time it has no pretensions to being exhaustive. To complete it, I propose to document the responses contained in the following works: J. Okely, Simone de Beauvoir: A Re-Reading; K. Soper, ‘The Qualities of Simone de Beauvoir’, New Left Review, March–April 1986; M. Gatens, Feminism and Philosophy; M. Le Doeuff, Hipparchia’s Choice, and T. Moi, Simone de Beauvoir: The Making of an Intellectual Woman.KeywordsSexual DesireFemale OrgasmFeminist DebateNormative Ethical TheoryTheoretical FailureThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
