Looking for Simone
In 1949, philosopher and novelist Simone de Beauvoir authored The Second Sex, a landmark work that unsettled conventional views of women's oppression and second-class citizenship. This film examines the origins and ongoing relevance of this feminist touchstone, tracing de Beauvoir's investigative journey across the United States as she gathered material for the book. A timely, engrossing portrait, the film both celebrates de Beauvoir's brilliance and reveals her limitations, bridging her provocative ideas with the dilemmas women confront today.
