Abstract

Simone de Beauvoir writes : “One is not born a woman but becomes a woman”. In Simone’s philosophical works we notice that she traces the development of male oppression through historical, literary, and mythical sources, attributing its contemporary effects on women to a systematic objectification of the male as a positive norm. It identifies the female as other. This consequently leads to a loss of social and personal identity. The variety of alienation unique to the experience of women.
