	Complete History of Beauvoir
		Beauvoir was never a plantation, due to its infertile soil, which consists of sand and a thin layer of decayed vegitation.
		However, in 1903, she sold Beauvoir for the token sum of $10,000 to the Mississippi Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans with the stipulation that it would be operated as a Confederate soldiers' home, with the house itself becoming a shrine to the memory of the former Confederate President.
		Beauvoir continues to be operated as a shrine to Jefferson Davis, and, as the deed permits, "to the memory of the ex-Confederate soldiers and sailors, their wives and servants, or to the memory of the Confederate Cause." Two separate museums are maintained, the Davis Family Museum and the Confederate Museum.

	Simone de Beauvoir
		Beauvoir is to reject the notion of a solipsistic isolated self.
		For Beauvoir the self is a fusion of mind and body and consciousness is prereflective and intentional, directed to objects in the external world, including her body.
		Beauvoir was disappointed that this, her second published novel, was to be interpreted as a resistance novel.

	Beauvoir
		Beauvoir professed the inequality in parenting by suggesting that while motherhood would not have allowed her to write as much as she wanted to for a living, she would have always been seen as lacking significant character by not raising a child.
		Beauvoir’s homosexual relationships were not made as public by her as her pact with Sartre because it was difficult for her to take a social, political and historical view of lesbianism in a culture that strongly disapproved of same-sex relationships (Tidd 56).
		Beauvoir made a distinction for herself between homosexual acts and a homosexual identity, possibly because her lesbian relationships were typically with students and of a very intellectual nature (Hawthorne 60, 63).

	20th WCP: Merleau-Ponty on Beauvoir's Literary-Philosophical Method
		The waters surrounding de Beauvoir’s contribution to philosophical method are somewhat muddled because the literary forms she used innovatively for philosophy — the novel and the short story — have (unlike, for example, the literary forms of Wittgenstein) resulted in writing which has been chiefly esteemed largely in terms of literature.
		Beauvoir's own position with regard to the universalist philosophical perspective was, in fact, settled in the 1930s, a fact that her fiction of that decade demonstrates and which Merleau-Ponty shows he understands well in his essay on her work.
		Beauvoir's pursuit of the abstract and the general via the concrete and the particular is, of course, the common currency of existentialism.

	Beauvoir, Simone de [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Beauvoir, on the contrary, always wanted to be a writer and a teacher, rather than a mother and a wife and pursued her studies with vigor.
		Beauvoir had been a deeply religious child as a result of her education and her mother's training, however, at the age of 14, she had a crisis of faith and decided definitively that there was no God.
		Beauvoir maintains the existentialist belief in absolute freedom of choice and the consequent responsibility that such freedom entails, by emphasizing that one's projects must spring from individual spontaneity and not from an external institution, authority, or person.

	BEVERSTEIN ON: SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR
		De Beauvoir, it was implied as much as stated, was the mother-figure to generations of women, a symbol of all that they could be, and a powerful demonstration of a life of freedom and autonomy (Evans 1).
		Additionally, three major aspects of de Beauvoir's childhood and young adult years can be discerned as undeniably influential forces in shaping and developing her innate abilities: her relationship with her father, her relationship with her mother, and her experience with space and nature.
		De Beauvoir's experience with space and nature is the final key relationship that was instrumental in shaping her ideas and convictions as an adult.

	Simone de Beauvoir
		Beauvoir wrote the work at a time when the final outcome of World War II was still unknown, but in the character of Jean she gave her support to the French Resistance.
		Beauvoir recalled in her memoirs, that once when Raymond Aron and Sartre had a series of conversations, she was excluded because her "mind moved too slowly for them." In general, Beauvoir differed from Sartre with her focusing on women's condition and tracing of sociopolitical, economic and ideological conditions behind freedom.
		Although Beauvoir was a well-known figure in the service of social and political causes, she behaved reticently toward people who did not belong to the small circle of her intimates.

	SARTRE . ORG : The Legacy of Simone de Beauvoir
		Beauvoir distinguished herself in 1929 as only the ninth woman in France ever to have passed the prestigious agrégation examinations in philosophy; at 21, she became the youngest student, man or woman, to pass.
		According to Simons, Beauvoir's student diaries show she was interested very early in the problem of the Self and the Other, a term she used to describe the lower-caste status of women in ''The Second Sex,'' but which also became central to existentialism.
		Beauvoir's critics say her portrayal of women's sex lives is dated, that she identifies more with men than with women and neglects race and class by generalizing from her experience as a white daughter of the French bourgeoisie.

	Simone de Beauvoir
		As de Beauvoir writes, "She is all that man desires and all that he does not attain." (229) Women represent the immanence of the flesh, both maternal and sexual.
		While it is perhaps unfair, given her historical context, to critique de Beauvoir for not thinking outside a Western binary model of male-female, particularly one which posits femaleness as a deficit and maleness as an epistemological standard, I feel this is a relevant point to be made from a theoretical standpoint.
		De Beauvoir argues that once children move beyond interest in excretory functions and their attendant meanings, it is social rewards attached to being male or female (physically and socially) that determine subjectivity.

	20th WCP: Is The Second Sex Beauvoir's Application of Sartrean Existentialism?
		Beauvoir's valuing of lucidity and her linking of faith with the temptation of self-deception provide key elements in the concept of bad faith that is central to Sartrean ethics.
		Beauvoir experiences her future career outside woman's traditional role of wife and mother (a future that was necessitated by her family's impoverishment and loss of her dowry), as a given destiny ("the lot which is reserved for me"), that requires of her an exhausting effort to assume as her own future.
		This brief survey of Beauvoir's 1927 diary, and of the evidence her relationship with Richard Wright, has challenged the traditional interpretation of The Second Sex as merely Beauvoir's application of Sartrean existentialism to the problem of women.

		She was born Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir on January 9, 1908 in Paris, France,; she eventually studied at the elite Ecole Normale Superieure where, in 1929, she met Jean Paul Sartre.
		Simone de Beauvoir died of pneumonia on April 14, 1986 and was buried alongside Jean Paul Sartre at the Cimetiere du Montparnasse in Paris, France.
		If de Beauvoir is right, the liberty that men and women both stand to gain from their mutual emancipation is the freedom to be subjects of their own destinies...including the right to make authentic and sovereign choices in all facets of their lives.

		Beauvoir wrote and taught about what was going on in her life and how she chose to live it.

	glbtq >> literature >> Beauvoir, Simone de
		Beauvoir sees lesbianism as a choice, not in the sense of the religious right's use of the term as a weapon against gays and lesbians, but in the existentialist concept of an attitude adopted in situation, for which one freely and fully takes responsibility.
		Yet Beauvoir described Le Bon as the "ideal companion of my adult life," explaining that, since Zaza's early death, she had often desired an "intense, daily and total relationship with a woman." Now that she had found Sylvie, their relationship was "absolute," one in which each lived "entirely" for the other.
		Beauvoir's active participation in the public silence surrounding her same-sex relations had the consequence of excluding her from the field of lesbian studies.

	Amazon.com: Tete-a-Tete: Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre: Books: Hazel Rowley (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Though Beauvoir is the heroine of the book, Rowley offers revealing insights into Sartre: including the extent to which he juggled, depended upon and supported his many mistresses and the compulsive need he had to seduce women far more beautiful than he, despite his tepid sensuality.
		Beauvoir, on the other hand, was bisexual, and had affairs with many male and female lovers, the most famous of whom was the American novelist Nelson Algren, the "great passion" of her life.
		What she doesn't note is that Beauvoir had developed a powerful typology of ways in which one might respond to and realize freedom in one's life, in her "Ethics of Ambiguity" -- and it would be interesting to consider where she must have fit on that continuum.

	The Bonds of Freedom: Simone de Beauvoir’s Existentialist Ethics
		Yet, Beauvoir does not accept, as Sartre did (at least in Being and Nothingness), that our freedom conflicts with that of others, and moreover she contends that the self requires the other’s freedom in order to reach for her own freedom.
		Beauvoir scholarship necessarily, initially, focused on demonstrating that Beauvoir is more than simply an insignificant philosopher who reiterates the work of others but is instead, what Deleuze and Guattari have called, a “concept creator” (Deleuze and Guattari 1994, 15-34).
		This important early valorization of Beauvoir’s work, which was necessary to save it from philosophical obscurity, has paved the way for work that reinterprets Beauvoir, perhaps in conjunction with other philosophers, to demonstrate her relevance for current issues and debates.

	Simone de Beauvoir: feminist vs. revelation
		For Simone de Beauvoir to be correct that “sexism is wrong”, the ideal society which she advanced, compels a reputation of the very gender pronouncement that is found in the utmost revelation; namely the Bible.
		Beauvoir argues that, in order to define their identity as superior, men declared themselves master of Nature, which includes women.
		Simone de Beauvoir is correct in her equivocalness in an ocean of absurd relativism.

	Existential Primer: Simone de Beauvoir
		Other critics and readers called de Beauvoir a “nymphomaniac.” Those in literary circles complained that her study of sexuality and the roles of women was too dispassionate.
		While de Beauvoir was eventually proved correct about the dangerous nature of French colonialism, she was as wrong as could be imagined when it came to the nature of global communism.
		Beauvoir praises the accomplishments of communism in China and it is clear to the reader that she either turned a blind eye to the problems of the communist revolution there or was simply naive enough to believe that the entire country was as well off as what she saw on her official visit.

	Critical Theory: Simone de Beauvoir
		She met Jean-Paul Sartre soon thereafter, and a lifelong friendship blossomed that was to influence both existentialism and feminism in Europe.
		In The Second Sex, de Beauvoir takes as her point of departure the idea that "woman is not born but made" and considers the ways in which womankind has historically been denied the freedom of choice that is essential to a productive existence.
		Although de Beauvoir's ethics are influenced by the Sartrean notions of being-for-itself and being-in-itself, her exploration of otherness through women's history is an original ethical approach.
