"A brilliant study of Simone de Beauvoir’s masterpiece." — Hilary Putnam
"Bauer's subtle and original elucidation of Beauvoir's philosophical relationship to Descartes, Hegel, and Sartre is a truly important contribution to the field of feminism and philosophy—and to feminist theory in general." — Toril Moi
"A powerfully argued, lucid and fascinating book which, as well as offering a timely reassessment of Beauvoir's thought, raises important questions for feminism about the most effective way to undermine masculine privilege." — Lois McNay, Times Literary Supplement
"In her concise but closely argued book, Bauer demonstrates the philosophical importance of Beauvoir's work, not only as foundational for contemporary feminism but as a major contribution to philosophy. . . . A real must-have for libraries serving serious women's studies programs." — Choice
