Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present Simone de Beauvoir as a philosopher and a feminist. It is also needed to point out that her activistic approach is strictly correlated with her philosophical attitude. The analysis of chosen texts of the researcher allows to see that feminism and philosophy can cooperate. Thanks to this cooperation, philosophy can be epistemologically more accurate and politically involved. The aim is also to draw an attention to the importance of de Beauvoir’s thought which is known in feminist and gender theories but in philosophy is, more often than not, ignored.
