A review by rachelcdm
The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir

4.0

I really struggled with this book, not because I didn't find it interesting or that I disagreed with any of the points Beauvoir made. In fact a lot of the points she made rang true with me and got me all fired up, it was more that you can tell the book has been translated. Some sentences were slightly disjointed and her paragraphs rambled on. I do think the Second Sex is a fantastic read if you persevere with it, if you're a feminist and want to broaden your views it's a real eye opener - highly recommend.
