“It is to be expected that one will be misunderstood when one has written a book whose chosen intention is a little ambiguous.”

Have you read The Second Sex? Ever wondered:

Why is this so confusing?
What kind of Marxist is Beauvoir?
Why is there so much psychoanalysis?

Here’s a new essay in which I share where some of my recent wondering has led me.

Toril Moi is Simone de Beauvoir's biographer and we've linked to her sharp and perceptive article via our blog - we think its a great intro to the characters and themes of the novel:
