The Second Sex
Simone de Beauvoir
A groundbreaking analysis of the Western concept of "woman," this powerful text explores inequality and otherness. This long-awaited new edition features significant portions reinstated from the original French text. Simone de Beauvoir's masterwork remains as thought-provoking and relevant today as it was 60 years ago.

@MarcieBianco That book so deeply influenced me and re-reading it just makes me feel a little defeated. – source2022-12-31T18:40:43.000Z
📚 My favorite books
These are not the most-influential or most-important books of all time [at least not all of them] — just the ones I like the most; or the most-important to me.
I have almost certainly forgotten a whole bunch. – sourceFor young women, I get The Second Sex, which I read when I was studying in Paris. – source
