5.0 out of 5 stars Simons opens a new chapter in Beauvoir scholarship.
Her careful readings of this newly discovered 1927 diary introduce us to the young Beauvoir taking up the project of becoming a philosopher and show us the roots of Beauvoir's distinct philosophical positions.
Published on April 29, 1999

3.0 out of 5 stars The Second Sex
anecdotal of all experiences of sex of a myriad of people, not from a sensational attitude. It is an important contribution for knowledge about the subject as was Kinsey's for males years later. It must have been sensational in its day.
