Volume II, Part 1 – the formative years

This feels different to me from Vol I, in Vol II, having gone through the development of woman through history, Simone de Beauvoir explores the makeup of woman. What’s engaging me is the detail Simone de Beauvoir presents, it’s the kind of detail that takes a lot of thinking and a lot of work to bring together.

reached Vol 1, part 3 (Myths), chapter 1

I'm enjoying how Simone de Beauvoir illustrates what it means to be a woman from many cultural points of view.
