This essay reads Simone de Beauvoir together with Friedrich Nietzsche on becoming a woman. Drawing on mythology, quite as de Beauvoir does in The Second Sex, connections can be made with Georges Bataille but also with Sarah Kofman’s own engagement with Nietzsche’s Ecce Homo. Death and limitation are part of Nietzsche’s own reflections and correspond to what de Beauvoir highlights in terms of “mysteries, orgies, and bacchanals,” in addition to ‘sacred frenzy,’ and the conjunction of marriage and lightning strikes.
