The Inkprints: Simone de Beauvoir
Simone de Beauvoir was a major figure in the 20th-century development of philosophy, French literature, and feminist theory and critique. In this episode, presenter Niamh Carey takes a specific look at de Beauvoir's novels and her worldwide famous philosophical piece "The Second Sex", examining de Beauvoir's long-lasting legacy, alongside her significant personal controversies.
Editor's note:
1. The presenter mentions one novel which she calls "Meeting in Moscow" - the correct title is "Misunderstanding in Moscow".
2. When the presenter mentions recent events relating to abortion law in France, she is referencing not the first entry of the right to abortion into French law in 1975, but the consolidation of the right into the French Constitution (Art 23) in March 2024.
