There is something so hypnotic about this book and so reflective that I can't just stop.

I’m 88 pages into Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter by Simone de Beauvoir, and this book already feels less like a memoir and more like a quiet conversation across time. Each chapter unfolds with an honesty that is subtle yet piercing, tracing the formation of a young girl’s inner world — her questions, her discipline, her silent rebellions, and her slow awakening to thought and independence.
