Description
TRANSLATED BY CONSTANCE BORDE AND SHEILA MALOVANY-CHEVALLIER ANNOTATED AND INTRODUCED BY MARTINE REID 'Everyone who cares about freedom and justice for women should read The Second Sex' Guardian Simone de Beauvoir famously wrote, 'One is not born, but rather becomes, woman'. In this groundbreaking work of feminism she examines the limits of female freedom and explodes our deeply ingrained beliefs about femininity. Liberation, she argues, entails challenging traditional perceptions of the social relationship between the sexes and, crucially, in achieving economic independence. Drawing on sociology, anthropology and biology, The Second Sex is as important and relevant today as when it was first published in 1949.

Review from a 70 year old!
To buy this at age 70 is too, too late; but guess what, better late than never!!!!!!
Her statement: Men and women, economically speaking,constitute two castes.......
This is just what needs to be stated for our Indian audience; if you are a woman, privileged or otherwise, read Beauvoir before you depart from life. I haven't yet finished, tough going through the statistics and history but the best is still to come. Another 'mot' worth recapitulating: she talks of man and woman as 'existents'....

I am so bad at giving titles
I bought this book for my sister and I haven't read this so this is not going to be a review on the book but a review of flipkart's service.
Like always, delivered in 2 days (in Lucknow) in flawless condition at at an unbeatable price. My sister is a MA student and had to buy a pile of books that summed up around 2.5k at local shops, and we managed to save around 600 bucks by buying them from flipkart. Some books like this one and My Feudal Lord were at heavy discount.

Perfect!
I was quite satisfied with this purchase. It was a perfect, undamaged copy I was given. They usually deliver the copy without unwrapping it from its original cellophane cocoon, and I simply love that! The delivery, as usual, was prompt and the staff cordial and helpful.
