THE SECOND SEX – Simone de Beauvoir

It causes the conservative audience, seeking personal recognition, vindicates the collective solidarity. Is a metaphysical challenge a social reality. What? A book, of course. With “The Second Sex”, Simone de Beauvoir frees the woman from their minor status, one that forces her to be “the Other” by man, without having to turn the right nor the opportunity, how to build other. By reading, you’ll discover that Simone de Beauvoir reviews the roles assigned by male thought the woman (wife, mother, whore, old), while collecting in their lives varied existential shades, as narcissistic, love or mystical. “The woman? is simple, says those who love the simple formulas. It is a matrix, ovary; it’s a girl, and that is enough to define it. In man’s mouth, the word “female” sounds like an insult; yet the man is not ashamed of his animality, even though it says it is proud of him: “It’s a male!” When you come in the second half of the book, you will have the perception of entering into a different soul latitude, as if your eyes do not believe what you read. The “femme indépendante”, one that is not content to have received a voter’s card, along with a few other freedom, she tries her expressive three-dimensionality even at work (together with economic independence and the possibility of self-fulfillment that comes). With a new language, you read of exhibition fabric pages, which are rich in history and psychoanalysis. Yes, you may have the impression of observing sensitive issues – as if they were of Burano glasses – where contraception and abortion, the bourgeois marriage and sexual alienation seem to dance. http://www.amazon.it/Le-Deuxieme-Sexe-Tome-1/dp/207032351X + http://www.amazon.com/Second-Sex-Simone-Beauvoir/dp/030727778X + http://www.amazon.it/secondo-sesso-Simone-Beauvoir/dp/8842814881
