breezer 's review for:

Extracts From: The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir
2.0
2.5* A few good ideas but very very dull.
"Is femininity secreted by the ovaries? Is it inshrined in a Platonic heaven? Is a frilly petticoat enough to bring it down to earth?"
Had some weird metaphorical parts.
"A body that reaches out into the world cannot be thwarted and metamorphosed into a statue animated by hidden vibrations"
