OPIS
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 sixty years ago, and will continue to provoke and inspire generations of men and women to come.
