Book - Paperback

786 In <I>The Second Sex</I>, Simone de Beauvoir posed questions many men, and women, had yet to ponder when the book was released in 1953. 'One wonders if women still exist, if they will always exist, whether or not it is desirable that they should...' she says in this comprehensive treatise on women. She weaves together history, philosophy, economics, biology and a host of other disciplines to show women's place in the world and to postulate on the power of sexuality. This is a powerful piece of writing in a time before 'feminism' was even a phrase, much less a movement. --<I>Christine Buttery</I> Women 009974421X C2O library Online catalog (BETA) 396 BEA Sec 278 C2O library & collabtive (Social Science) 8000 TheSecondSexVintageClassi2934_f.jpg 278 2015-01-02 09:50:52 2015-01-02 09:50:52 machine generated
