"The effect of the new translation, which should be applauded, is to make Beauvoir more herself. . . still lively, still apropos." --Slate “This is the edition Beauvoir herself would have wanted, one so true to the original that we can hear her voice in the text. Borde and Malovany-Chevallier’s new translation is long overdue, and it is a triumph.� -Margaret Simons, Distinguished Research Professor Emerita, Southern Illinois University “[Borde and Malovany-Chevallier’s translation] can be read with confidence, enlightenment, and pleasure. . . .

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 "[A] long-awaited achievement." –"Book Bench," newyorker.com, Praise from the UK for the new edition ofThe Second Sex: "[A] masterpiece. . . .

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.
