The subtitle of "The Second Sex I" is "Facts and Myths". Starting from the perspectives of biology, psychoanalysis and historical materialism on women, the author analyzes the reasons why women become "others"; then, through the combing of human history, it deeply reveals the fate of women from primitive society to the present; finally, the book takes five famous writers including Montherlant, Lawrence, Claudel, Breton and Stendhal as examples to analyze the "female myths" created by men and explore the image of women in the eyes of men and the ideas they embody.
