This book's original English translation, by H. M. Parshley, has been widely criticized for its inaccuracies. This book notes ironically that its subject "enjoys that incomparable privilege: irresponsibility." This book ends by exhorting humanity to "unequivocally affirm their brotherhood." This book's analyses of particular writers include "D. H. Lawrence or Phallic Pride" and "Montherlant or the Bread of Disgust," which appear in its first volume, "Facts and Myths." Its second volume, "Lived Experience," discusses childhood and (*) motherhood and imagines a world in which women have equality with men. This book famously states "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman." For 10 points, name this classic of second-wave feminism by Simone de Beauvoir.
