Rendition To Books The Second Sex (Le deuxième sexe #1-2)
Newly translated and unabridged in English for the first time, Simone de Beauvoir’s masterwork is a powerful analysis of the Western notion of “woman,” and a groundbreaking exploration of inequality and otherness. This long-awaited new edition reinstates significant portions of the original French text that were cut in the first English translation. Vital and groundbreaking, Beauvoir’s pioneering and impressive text remains as pertinent today as it was back then, and will continue to provoke and inspire generations of men and women to come.Rating Out Of Books The Second Sex (Le deuxième sexe #1-2)

The Second Sex examines gender as a social construct in society, especially how the position of women determines their oppression through setting woman as "other" in relation to man and masculine institutions. The book represents a classic manifesto of the liberated woman, its subversiveness has changed how we think of women.This book explores wholeness of a woman's life. The first part is about facts and myths, exploring the woman through the point of view of biology, psychoanalysis andWhy I never manage to find the right edition of the book I'm reading on Goodreads baffles me. Twice I've read Beauvoir in French. Mine is an old treasured edition, which I didn't find listed here. So, I set to read it again in English. It would be quite weird to write the review in English and quote Beauvoir in French...Alors, on y va! Humanity is not an animal species, it is a historical reality. Human society is an antiphysis in a sense it is against nature; it does not passively submit to
it seems it has taken me almost a year to finish this book. in my defense it's 701 pages.for as long as i can remember, since first i heard her name and after when i knew that there is a book called the second sex written by a French woman (and i admire the french), i have wanted to read it.the years passed by, i was playing with the idea of learning as much french as i can to read it in the original but alas, so little time, so many books to read. and i also have a fetish for books in paper and
I began reading The Second Sex in August, 2008; I finished it in May, 2010. It is not a book one reads for pleasure, in the usual sense of the word. It is written in the style of a textbook, with Jean Paul Sartre's version of existentialism as the underlying philosophical base. Since de Beauvoir wrote it in the late 1940s, it is to some degree an historical document with a French middleclass viewpoint. When I began reading and experiencing the density of the prose, I attempted to read 50 pages
This extensive, scholarly study, written in 1946 by French existentialist novelist and feminist Simone de Beauvoir is a seminal text for 20th-century feminism. The lengthy study contains numerous chapters, beginning with the history of women in societies throughout the world. Beauvoir's first basic observation is that the world has always been dominated by men--hence, her title that names women as "the second sex" or le deuxième sexe." Her premise that runs through the book is that there is no
Knocked Up Preggers Up the Spout A Bun in the Oven * * * The word pregnant is pregnant with connotation. And for womenoften viewed in more bodily terms than mennothing foregrounds a woman's body more than pregnancy. Its interesting to consider what Simone de Beauvoir, dubbed the "mother" of modern feminism, thought about motherhood itself. Given what she writes in The Second Sex, Beauvoir would probably concur with my friends attitude ...A number of years ago, a friend of mine spoke to me of
As a feminist, it's been recommended to me for years that I read Simone de Beauvoir's 1949 book, The Second Sex. As a regular person, though, I have always felt like it "wasn't the right time" to read it.What does that even mean?As someone living as "the second sex" myself, there is no excuse for this. I was lazy, bottom line. It's a big book, and while big books do not normally frighten me, I was worried I wouldn't be smart enough for Simone de Beauvoir. She was, from what I understand, a
