About this product
Product Information
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.

Praise from the UK for the new edition ofThe Second Sex: "[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 Sexis 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 Beauvoirrs"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, "This is the edition Beauvoir herself would have wanted, one so true to the original that we can hear her voice in the text. . . . A triumph." -Margaret Simons, Distinguished Research Professor Emerita, Southern Illinois University "[A] long-awaited achievement." --"Book Bench," NewYorker.com "The effect of the new translation, which should be applauded, is to make Beauvoir more herself. . .still lively, still apropos." --Slate "[Borde and Malovany-Chevallier's translation] can be read with confidence, enlightenment, and pleasure. . . . A significant step forward and a remarkable achievement. So if you're one of those people who always meant to read The Second Sex -why not now?" -Women's Review of Books "From Eve's apple to Virginia Woolf's room of her own, Beauvoir's treatise remains an essential rallying point, urging self-sufficiency and offering the fruit of knowledge." - Vogue, “This is the edition Beauvoir herself would have wanted, one so true to the original that we can hear her voice in the text. . . .
