hahaha, yes MUCH love for Beauvoir! Her The Ethics of Ambiguity is one of the most important and overlooked philosophical works of the 20th century. It was her preoccupation, early on, with the Other (in Levinas, for example) that influenced that cohort to really think about issues of intersubjectivity (now a main trope in Continental Philosophy, to do with identity formation in and through our relation to the Other and alterity), prompting Sartre to get on his Alienation boat. Also, there is a new translation of The Second Sex where parts of her more philosophical meditations that had been excised by the original translator have been re-inserted, and it is also a much better translation in terms of showing how she was thinking about philosophical issues - makes it worth re-reading The Second Sex again! But alas, her name is already pretty well known and the post was about philosophers people might not have heard about. Her works do need to be studied more!
