By expressing the gender discrimination while “On ne nait pas femme, on le deviant” (We don’t born woman, we become woman), the famous philosopher Simone de Beauvoir says that the “masculinity” concept is a historical thought and the femininity is a social situation. This statement will be a key to feminism and a descrption of woman's contractory situation who seen as an object in the relation of man.
Studying philosophy at Sorbonne, she met with the most important philosopher-writer of the period and also with her life partner Jean-Paul Sartre. The soft competition between the binary in schools, although Simone's philosophy is better, was ended with Sartre’s first prize winning just because he was a man. Second-worthy Simone perhaps begins her notes regarding feminism at this point of time. Simone de Beauvoir, who is affecting the society with her thoughts, is also inspiring women all over the world with her courage.
