Who is this existentialist and feminist writer of such works as The Second Sex who said, "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman"?

Answer Simone de Beauvoir

Simone de Beauvoir fought for the eradication of what she termed the myth of the "eternal feminine" – an archetype of a fixed and idealized concept of "woman," often an angelic, modest, and chaste one. She was the romantic and intellectual partner of fellow philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre.
