In this in-depth interview filmed in 1975 with famed French journalist Servan-Schreiber about her book "The Second Sex", Simone de Beauvoir speaks with clarity and conviction about feminism and its future. She explains her famous quote "One is not born a woman, one becomes one" and the importance of early childhood, the definition of sexism and the relations between men and women. She also brings up how "The Second Sex" was received when it came out, and the conflicts over abortion laws in France. An essential document.
About this series: Two interviews, recorded 16 years apart, illuminating the historic role, personality and thoughts of the novelist, philosopher and political activist who paved the way for Second-Wave Feminism.
