The Second Sex by Constance Borde, Simone de Beauvoir, Sheila Malovany-Chevallier
challenging
informative
slow-paced
4.0
Dense and long, and while much is dated (thankfully!), unfortunately the gendered societal constructs the author discusses still strongly effect us today. This is an essential text for anyone studying gender, history, and women in literature. Glad I stuck it out, and committed!
