Identity without Selfhood: Simone de Beauvoir and Bisexuality (Cambridge Cultural Social Studies) Book

Situated at the cross-roads of feminism, queer theory and post-structuralist debates around identity, this is not a book about Simone de Beauvoir, but, rather, a book which addresses the different ways in which she is constructed as an intelligible 'self' by academics, biographers and the media.
