The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir
5.0
This book floored me; though it shows its age in some places and has a noticeable communist bent, it questions the framework of the world in a way which justifies its enormous length.
This is not a self-help book, and I was left somewhat depressed by the lack of concrete solutions to achieve fulfillment as a subjective human being rather than objective woman. However, the hope it does hold out was enough to entirely change my mindset. Required reading for any thoughtful or dissatisfied woman--or man.
