Extracts From: The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir

informative reflective fast-paced

3.5

A titan in feminist history, this excerpt of The Second Sex proves to both horribly outdated and horribly relevant. Her arguments and stances, given it being written in 1949, may seem odd to a modern reader — and similar to my review of What is to be done by Lenin — this excerpt shows a book that is a wonderful and influence historical document but it may be more useful to read more contemporary theory.
