A review by aouride
The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

my god. i've tried so hard to read this book so many damn times and i just can't do it. the messages she give out are thought-provoking and important but dear lord this woman repeats herself endlessly. i realize it's likely done for emphasis or something like that but it just makes this book such a bore and a chore to get through. i also realize that the writing probably flows much more smoothly in its original french but still. wrap it up.
