We Are Not Born Submissive

How Patriarchy Shapes Women's Lives

Manon Garcia

This philosophical exploration delves into the complexities of female submission and its perpetuation by patriarchy. Using Simone de Beauvoir's work and feminist philosophy, the book challenges the traditional understanding of femininity and submission. The author argues that women's lived experiences shape their adaptation to gender hierarchies, and that women do not actively choose submission but consent to it through social norms. This sophisticated analysis moves beyond simplistic perspectives and provides a nuanced understanding of the subject.
