A review by majafilipovic7
The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir

5.0

It took me about 5 months to finish this, but it’s such an important book and not at all overrated. My favourite part was de Beauvoir going through the history and describing the part we don’t usually hear or learn about - the position and experiences of women, with a lot of it still having implications today. It’s a reminder that feminism isn’t just a trend but based on centuries of painful history, discrimination and socialisation that we can to a vast extent still see happening or at least having implications today.
