This is a shocking omission, given that many (but by no means all) other translations were based on the 1953 English translation by Howard M. Parshley, which has been widely criticized by Beauvoir scholars for its omissions and careless attention to its philosophical implications. This volume seeks to fill this gap in scholarship with an innovative collection of essays that interrogate the ways that Beauvoir's essay has shifted in meaning and significance as it has travelled across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume brings together for the first time scholars from Translation Studies, Literary Studies and Philosophical Studies, and over half of it is dedicated to non-Western European engagements with \u003ci\u003eLe Deuxi鑪e Sexe \u003c\/i\u003e(including chapters on the Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hungarian and Polish translations).
