Review
In The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir posed questions many men, and women, had yet to ponder when the book was released in 1953. "One wonders if women still exist, if they will always exist, whether or not it is desirable that they should ...," she says in this comprehensive treatise on women. She weaves together history, philosophy, economics, biology, and a host of other disciplines to show women's place in the world and to postulate on the power of sexuality. This is a powerful piece of writing in a time before "feminism" was even a phrase, much less a movement.

Ships from the USA, quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Widely regarded as one of the most important books of the twentieth century, The Second Sex transformed intellectual discussions about gender, identity, freedom, and the social position of women. In this work, Simone de Beauvoir draws upon philosophy, history, literature, biology, and personal experience to examine how women have been defined and constrained by cultural and social expectations. Its argument that one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman helped reshape modern feminist thought and remains a cornerstone of gender studies today. First published in France in 1949, the work challenged assumptions long treated as natural or unquestionable, and Beauvoir's analysis influenced generations of writers, scholars, activists, and philosophers, helping lay the intellectual foundations for second-wave feminism. This August 1974 Vintage Books edition, No. V-227, represents the first printing of the work in a mass-market paperback format, the highly portable form in which the text was studied and debated in university curricula and reading groups across North America. It is collected in the fields of women's studies, existentialist philosophy, and vintage paperback design history. Seller Inventory # C0G-GS061726p11
