What is a Woman?

Challenging contemporary feminist thought, Toril Moi explores the essence of womanhood and feminism in today's context, drawing inspiration from Simone de Beauvoir's "The Second Sex." The book presents fresh theoretical insights on Freud and Bourdieu, alongside analyses of desire and knowledge in literature. Emphasizing a feminism rooted in freedom, Moi advocates for a rejection of rigid definitions of femininity, offering a compelling and original perspective that enriches feminist theory.
