Über diesen Titel

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.

Kritikerstimmen

"[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)

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
