This book attempts to curb debate about the "ambiguity of give and take".
This book attempts to curb debate about the "ambiguity of give and take". It contrasts the natural "immanent" and free "transcendent" modes of life and imagines a future that "Soviet Revolution promised". The "Myths" section of this work analyzes how Verlaine, Poe, and Hamlet reflect the current "everlasting disappointment" in the title figures. This book claims that Hegel's master/slave dialectic does not apply to the title group, since it implies (*) equality between them and the free society. The second volume of this work outlines how the title subjects have become the passive and alienated "Other" to the "active" and "subjective" male, and it claims that "one is not born, but becomes, a woman". For 10 points, name this work of feminist philosophy by Simone de Beauvoir.
