UNABRIDGED AND AVAILABLE ON AUDIO FOR THE FIRST TIME

Simone de Beauvoir’s essential masterwork is a powerful analysis of the Western notion of “woman,” and a revolutionary exploration of inequality and otherness. This unabridged edition of the text reinstates significant portions of the original French text that were cut in the first English translation, and is now available on audio for the very first time. Vital and groundbreaking, Beauvoir’s pioneering and impressive text remains as pertinent today as when it was first published, and will continue to provoke and inspire generations of men and women to come.

Kritikerröster

Praise from the UK for the new edition of The Second Sex:

“[A] masterpiece. . . . Restores essential passages that have been missing for 60 years.” —The Times

“Groundbreaking. . . . A fresh, much expanded, more intelligible book which repays re-reading by adherents of the old version, and cries out for attention from young women who have not been exposed to this most powerful of feminist thinkers. The Second Sex [is] the foundation text of second-wave feminism. It is probably the most important and influential philosophical treatise of the 20th century.” —The Irish Times

“The Second Sex is an inquiry into a subject with profound implications for the entire human race, and its ideas are as fresh and inspiring as they were when [Beauvoir] began work. . . . Now Beauvoir’s great work is available in a full English translation for the first time. . . . It is a fine piece of work, a lucid translation.” —The Independent

Mest relevant
Being a often quoted historical work with a wide-reaching following, I decided to give it a read. Unfortunately the author’s core message is lost in a sea of obfuscated, philosophical ramblings whilst quoting verbatim scores of obscure literary references, completely unknown to modern audiences. It was a real struggle to finish the book.

Whilst the book may have played a crucial historical role, I cannot recommend it to a modern non-academic audience. Much shorter texts like “The Feminine Mystique” by Betty Friedman do a much better job of discussing feminist issues.

Very dry, convoluted and rambly

I hoped this to be an easier listen but it’s a really monotonous voice just rambling along.
Yes, it is an important part of feministic literature and I don’t want to undermine that but I also can’t recommend anyone to listen to this specific audiobook. There’s plenty of more modern options to read/listen though

Boring long enumerations
