The Second Sex

Simone de Beauvoir (Author), Constance Borde (Translator), Sheila Malovany-Chevallier (Translator), Sheila Rowbotham (Writer of introduction)
"Simone de Beauvoir wrote, 'One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman'.In this groundbreaking work of feminism she examines the limits of female freedom and explodes our deeply ingrained beliefs abotu femininity. Liberation, she argues, entails challenging traditional perceptions of the social relationship between the sexes and, crucially, in achieving economic independence."
