The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir
3.0

This is a giant tome. 800+ pages. Tried to keep in mind the audience. This book was published in France in 1949. Ms. Beauvoir's research and sources are impressive. She presents facts and stories from history, sociology, psychology, philosophy, literature and first-person accounts. Overall, the information was depressing. How far we have come... I think!
