This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century existentialist and feminist philosopher, novelist, essayist, and playwright Simone de Beavoir's book, The Second Sex

It focuses specifically on her discussion of women as being the Other. Her examination also discusses other modes of alterity, in which political power, class or race function as the bases for making some group of people the Other.
