7 Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?

A person that I admire on the field of social science is Simone de Beauvoir. Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir (her real name) was a French teacher, writer, philosopher, feminist and a social theorist, among other things. She born in January 9th of 1908 in Paris, France and finally died in April 14th of 1986, when she was 78 years. Since she was little girl, she stood out for good ratings and for showing interest in writing and teaching. She became in a pioneer feminist, and this beliefs were more difficult to hold in her times than today because woman had always been historically invisible by man but this was worse in the years that she lived. She maintains that "the woman" or what we understand as a woman is a cultural product that has been socially constructed. His most recognized work "The second sex" becomed controversial while Beauvoir was a lonely woman in the intellectual world of philosophers, denouncing the condition of women and making it a social problem.
I like her because represents courage, because she is an example of how should we defend our ideals and beliefs.
