fractaltexan 's review for:

The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir

4.0

---

Having bought the book for a class, I will freely admit to reading only parts of the book, and in particular only those that had been assigned by the instructor. Nonetheless, the parts I read show a clear purpose on describing the Feminine Reality that we see today, and Beauvoir shows how through various disciplines, Woman, the Second Sex, was given the constructed reality of being subordinate to Man. Her goal is to give man and woman a look into the Feminine Reality.
