AU$10.00
ISBN: 0-140-02030-6
Publisher: Penguin Books - 1975
Synopsis: A superb autobiography by one of the great literary figures of the twentieth century, Simone de Beauvoir's 'Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter' offers an intimate picture of growing up in a bourgeois French family, rebelling as an adolescent against the conventional expectations of her class, and striking out on her own with an intellectual and existential ambition exceedingly rare in a young woman in the 1920s. She vividly evokes her friendships, love interests, mentors, and the early days of the most important relationship of her life, with fellow student Jean-Paul Sartre, against the backdrop of a turbulent political time.

Simone De Beauvoir - The Second Sex
AU$15.00
ISBN: 978-0-140-03463-9
Publisher: Penguin Books - 1984
Synopsis: Simone de Beauvoir famously wrote, 'One is not born, but rather becomes, woman'. In this groundbreaking work of feminism she examines the limits of female freedom and explodes our deeply ingrained beliefs about femininity. Liberation, she argues, entails challenging traditional perceptions of the social relationship between the sexes and, crucially, in achieving economic independence. Drawing on sociology, anthropology and biology, 'The Second Sex' is as important and relevant today as when it was first published in 1949.
