Simone De Beauvoir

I really admire to Simone de Beauvoir, she is a French woman who was writer, philosophy, and teacher in The Sorbonne University. She wrote The Second Sex, that is an elementary work of gender theory. There is a phrase in the Second Sex that I like so much. The phrase says: “Not born a woman”. This means that the facto to be a woman is something that is built for the society.

The partner of Simone De Beauvoir was Jean Paul Sartre. He was her teacher at the University of The Sorbonne. Both belong to the existentialist stream. The questions of this philosophical thought are about de life. For example ¿for what we live?

Simone de Beauvoir is one of the most important people to gender theory. She has done big contributions. Mainly she contributed to the noted that gender is a social construction.
The new movements of feminist take some her ideas. However to the condition of woman they add the situation of class, ethnicity, generation and others.


The books of Simone de Beauvoir are reading for the students of Master in gender and culture of University of Chile. Clearly she is symbol in the female wrestling. I like so much!

My favorite movies

I love watching movies but I'm not going to the movies very often. When I want to watch a good movie recommendations I ask my friend Camila because she has very good cinematic taste. The movies I see on a page of online cinema.

I like drama movies. My favorite director is called Alicia Scherson. I like movies because it treated women's issues. The last movie I saw was "The source of women," which is a group of North African women who make a "love strike" that their husbands fix the conditions in which they live.



The best movie I've seen this year is called "The life of Adele." This movie is about two girls who are lesbians and they start a love story. I love the character of Adele it is a simple woman who enjoys the simple things in life.


I do not know if I have a favorite movie of all time. I like films that address women's issues and are of drama. I do not like action movies.


I always see a movie again and again, is called A Place Called Nothing Hill, every time the match on television watching me stay.

MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY





My favorite piece of technology is my notebook. My notebook I have since 2012, I bought it because my old notebook was spoiled.

In my notebook I use it daily to connect to the internet. With my notebook I connect to Facebook and see pictures of my family living in the south. Also I download music from my favorite bands. I must confess I am addicted to watching music videos on YouTube and I can spend long hours behind the screen. Also spend my notebook to write articles in the social sciences.

I like my notebook because it is good quality. When my notebook is spoiled myself can fix it.


When I use my notebook I have to wear glasses, because if I do not turn red.
