Simone de Beauvoirs Le Deuxième Sexe has been studied extensively since its appearance in 1949. Through the years, certain passages have taken on prestige; others are seen as unimportant to understanding Beauvoirs argument. In Toward a Phenomenology of Sexual Difference, Sara Heinämaa rediscovers those neglected passages in her quest to follow Beauvoirs line of thinking. Heinämaa, like some other recent philosophers, finds that Le Duexième Sexe is a philosophical inquiry, not the empirical study it is commonly thought to be. Others who view Beauvoirs masterpiece as a work of philosophy argue it is a criticism not only of Sartrean phenomenology, but of phenomenology as a whole. Heinämaa thinks differently. She finds that Beauvoirs starting point is the Husserlian idea of the living body that she found developed in Merleau-Pontys Phénoménologie de la perception. So when Beavoir wrote Le Duexième Sexe, she was writing not as Sartres pupil, but as a scholar in the tradition of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty.
