She argues that the extraordinary effect \u003ci\u003eThe Second Sex\u003c\/i\u003e has had on women's lives, then and now, can be traced to Beauvoir's discovery of a new way to philosophize--a way grounded in her identity as a woman. In offering a new interpretation of \u003ci\u003eThe Second Sex, \u003c\/i\u003e Bauer shows how philosophy can be politically productive for women while remaining genuinely philosophical.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNancy Bauer is assistant professor of philosophy at Tufts University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.04 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 04, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52714920378675,"sku":"9780231116657","price":73.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/SFcvdmErVlNUMUFDRnN2NDJlQ3RMUT09.webp?v=1763586039","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/simone-de-beauvoir-philosophy-and-feminism-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
