An object of the present invention is to provide a polymerizable liquid crystal composition that can be stored at room temperature for a long time after blending, and the polymerizable liquid crystal composition has a temperature range in which the polymerizable liquid crystal composition exhibits a liquid crystal phase. An optically anisotropic body excellent in transparency obtained by polymerizing the above is provided. A polymerizable liquid crystal composition containing a polymerizable compound represented by the general formula (1), and an optically anisotropic body obtained by polymerizing the polymerizable liquid crystal composition in an aligned state. [Chemical 1] (1) (In the formula, P 1 to P 4 represent a polymerizable functional group, S 1 to S 4 and T 1 represent a linking group, and A 1 and A 2 each independently represent a benzene ring or a cyclohexane ring. B 1 and B 2 represent a ring such as a phenylene group, and Y 1 and Y 2 are a single bond, —CH 2 CH 2 —, —CH 2 O—, —OCH 2 —, —CO—O—, —OCO—, Represents a linking group such as —C≡C— or —CH═CH—.
