Publisher's Summary
Unabridged and available on audio for the first time
Simone de Beauvoir’s essential masterwork is a powerful analysis of the Western notion of "woman", and a revolutionary exploration of inequality and otherness. This unabridged edition of the text reinstates significant portions of the original French text that were cut in the first English translation, and is now available on audio for the very first time. Vital and groundbreaking, Beauvoir’s pioneering and impressive text remains as pertinent today as when it was first published, and will continue to provoke and inspire generations of men and women to come.
Critic Reviews
"[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 Sex is 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 Beauvoir’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)

brotherhood for men and women
I should agree that some parts of the book are too hard to understand / assimilate but some of the sections are amazing thought process . i see how these thoughts are still relevant in some part of the world . finally the conclusion that men and women need to be equal " subjects" is expected .
but the twist the author makes is that if the women "exist" for "herself" then she can obviously exist for the other seems to be a valid point to make the world a better place .
