French author and existentialist Simone de Beauvoir has exerted considerable influence on feminist theory  and gender studies around the world. In the context of the Generation Equality Forum 2021 and the  publication of the book, The Inseparables (France, 2020), by Beauvoir’s adopted daughter, Sylvie Le Bon  de Beauvoir, the ‘Café Philo’ organized by the French Institute in India will delve deeper into how the  work’s protagonist brought about a feminist awakening in Beauvoir. Her landmark book considered the  Bible of the feminist movement, The Second Sex (1949), will soon be translated in Hindi.
