Beauvoir was gaining popularity. It was a masterpiece of feminist literature, which provided theoretical basis for the feminist ideas in the 1960s and 70s. But what makes this relevant is that de Beauvoir and Carter had much in common: they were both influenced by existentialism; rejected any kind of female essence; and both thought that “one is not born but rather becomes a woman”.

Author Erich Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front is an anti-war novel that explores how the hostility and terror of war impacts the men on the Front line.
