Extracts From: The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir

5.0

Powerful and written with frightening clarity. Some things have changed and some haven’t, but perhaps the struggles for freedom will repeat - until we stand sovereign in front of the world.

“To do great things, today’s woman needs above all forgetfulness of self: but to forget oneself one must first be solidly sure that one has already found oneself.”

“She may feel alone within the world: she never stands up in front of it, unique and sovereign.”
