Dr. Ellie Anderson, Philosophy professor and co-host of the Overthink podcast, discusses her work on Simone de Beauvoir and contemporary feminist philosophy, social psychology, and sociology, mostly drawing from her 2017 conference paper "Beauvoir's 'Woman in Love' on the Millenial Dating Scene". While some of Beauvoir's work in The Second Sex might now seem dated, Ellie discusses how much of her analysis resonates with contemporary social science of love and dating. "Woman dreams of reconciling independence and love," Beauvoir writes—Ellie breaks down how this is as far from reality for women today as it was for the women Beauvoir was writing about in 1949.
