The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir

3.0

This took me so long to finish oh my fucking god. The first part was amazing, really (and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants contact with one of the cornerstone books of Western feminism) - but the second part really didn't pass the test of time and it's quite outdated (happily so, since it discusses the condition of woman in current times, and one would hope that so many decades later, it is at least slightly better). Could have been a tiny bit shorter though, since a lot of ideas I feel are repeated throughout the book.

Also some points off bc de Beauvoir was into illegally younger people and I couldn't care less about the ideas of those times or whatever.
