    Beauvoir’s work is a revelation. This is a book that every person should read. I disagree with a few points, but the overall message is a good one.

    Definitely a tough read, but ultimately worth it. It challenged my assumptions and broadened my understanding. Some concepts are outdated.

  3. Ayush Arora

    An important and challenging read that will stay with you long after you finish it. But some of the concepts feel quite outdated.

    A classic for a reason! It’s dense, but worth the effort. Really makes you think about societal expectations. Highly recommend for serious readers.

    While historically significant, I found it repetitive and overly academic. It became a slow read as it went on. Not for casual reading.

    This book changed my perspective on womanhood. Beauvoir’s arguments are powerful and compelling. A must-read for any feminist.

    A dense and philosophical book. It is a great read for people with prior knowledge of feminism. I found some point unresonable.

    A must read book for every feminist, some concepts needs to updated according to current trends.
