Abstract

In this article, the feminist existentialism of Simone de Beauvoir is exposed in one of her most representative literary works: The woman destroyed, which was published in the late sixties of the last century. In this book, Beauvoir expresses, through three stories, her feminist philosophy framed by the influence of Jean-Paul Sartre, but through her personal interpretation, pointing out the conditions that have led women to live submissive in a world that expect an ideal behavior from them.
