But Mlle de Beauvoir is a feminist of the sort produced by women's mature realization that they really have the power to be a man's equal. She believes that women are inferior to men only because they are made so --- The second half of this remarkably exciting and readable book deals with woman's life today, her childhood, sexual initiation, and marriage. Each paragraph is packed with wisdom and information.' Manchester Guardian ***'In her appraisal of childhood and adolescence, and of the special problems of the married woman, the mother, the Lesbian, the prostitute, the "hetaira", the woman in middle age, and the woman in old age, she shows herself uniformly responsible and balanced. She is not only a careful and scholarly writer: she is a novelist, and the value of her work owes a great deal to the penetrating power of her imagination --- There is no doubt that this is an important and serious study which will demand consideration for a very long time to come.' Times Literary Supplement (Review quotes from inside front flap of dustwrapper). ***Named by Modern Library as one of top 100 books of non- fiction of the twentieth century. Also named by The Times Literary Supplement as one of the most hundred influential books since World War II. ***A second impression of the first UK edition, published in 1954, the book being originally published in the UK in October 1953, and reprinted once more in 1956.
