Approaching Simone de Beauvoir’s feminism and social commentary as a resource to understand our current crises, Beauvoir and Politics: A Toolkit brings together established and emerging scholars to apply her insights to gender studies, political philosophy, decolonisation, intellectual history, age theory, and critical phenomenology. This collection starts from key concepts in Beauvoir’s oeuvre and relates them to contemporary debates, asking how her notion of ambiguity speaks to lived experiences that have been highly politicized in recent years. The volume offers an important critical appraisal of Beauvoir’s legacy, demonstrating the contemporary relevance of her thought as it diagnoses the present and looks toward change for a better future.
