The CELJ judges issued the following statement on Simone de Beauvoir Studies: “The newly launched Simone de Beauvoir Studies embody the spirit of the Phoenix Award in both their editorial practice and their content. After a five-year hiatus, a journal that was formerly published every two years, which was limited to paper only and was restricted to a scientific society with only one author, was converted into an open, hybrid publication that reflected the breadth and power of the new science around Simone de Beauvoir reflects. “(Http://www.celj.org/news; http://www.celj.org/winners)
