armelle_mcg 's review for:

The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir
4.0

Wow. Radical, but so enlightening. The key message from this book is that for equality to happen, men and women need to be peers, and that gender is a social construct.

What society has led us to believe is engrained is so, but engrained by a patriarchy that ‘shackles’ us.

Honestly, it blew my mind on what a lot of modern feminism believes to be ‘claiming as our own’ - our sexuality, our minds, and our bodies.

I would definitely recommend as it offers radical yet balanced outcomes. Man should not fuck with woman.
