    Simon Bova and the Turkish feminists Gisele Alimi and Elisabeth Badande have been hugely influential in the field of women's rights. They have made the world aware of the torture of women after the outbreak of the Algerian war and the legalization of abortion.

    The subsequent 343 petition (des343, a petition signed by 343 women demanding the freedom to have an abortion) was also born from this.

    Simone de Beauvoir and Gisele Alimi co-founded the non-governmental organization choire, which aims to promote the legality of voluntary abortion.  Simone de Beauvoir spent her life exploring the world she lived in, visiting factories and schools, and meeting people ranging from female factory workers to political leaders.

    In Simon de Beauvoir¡¯s view, Sartre could no longer derive pleasure from his intellect and could no longer argue philosophically.

    She also implicitly admitted her dislike of Sartre's adopted daughter.  She summed it up this way: Sartre's death separated us; my death cannot bring us together.  That's it; he's tired of us hanging on for so long.

    Simone de Beauvoir¡¯s most important work is her The Second Sex, which is considered the bible of the feminist movement.

    In "The Second Sex", Simone de Beauvoir believes: We are not born as women, we become women.  If her sexual characteristics appear to us to have been determined before puberty, and sometimes even from early infancy, it is not because of some mysterious instinct that directly destined her to be passive, coquettish, and maternal.  , but because the influence of others on this child has been an element almost from the beginning.  So she was indoctrinated from an early age to fulfill the mission of women.  The same goes for men.  This is the most important point of this book.

    (This concept is extracted from Tertullian¡¯s thought): It is precisely because of the different composition of individuals that we assume different roles and have different attributes, and that we have two genders.  The book proposes that because women have poor physical strength, when life requires physical strength, women feel that they are weak and fear freedom. Men use legal forms to fix women's inferior status, but women are still willing to obey.

    She disagrees with Engels¡¯s statement that the transition from matrilineal clan society to patrilineal clan society is about men regaining power. She believes that women have never gained power in history, even in matrilineal clan societies.

    She believes that women¡¯s true liberation must gain the right to freely choose to have children and transition to neutrality.  The English translation of her book was extremely popular in the United States and played a great role in shaping the feminist movement since the 1960s.

    This book caused protests and even malicious slander for Simone de Beauvoir.  Although Simone de Beauvoir received little support, she impressed Claude L¨¦vi-Strauss, who believed that from an anthropological perspective, Simone de Beauvoir's work was completely acceptable.  Some of the great writers of the time objected to what Simone de Beauvoir wrote, and there were many detractors.
