Examining how de Beauvoir is constructed as an intelligible self by academics, biographers and the media, this book proposes an original conception of identity and subjectivity in the context of recent post-structuralist and queer debates and argues that attempts to 'deconstruct' identity founder on Western concepts such as individuality.
