Focusing on the intellectual history of post-World War II feminist theory, the book explores how early feminist theorists shaped contemporary understandings of gender as a social construct. It highlights the contributions of both prominent figures like Simone de Beauvoir and lesser-known scholars such as Mirra Komarovsky and Viola Klein. By examining this often-overlooked period, the author argues that it serves as a crucial turning point in the evolution of feminist thought, laying the groundwork for subsequent waves of feminism.
