The Woman Destroyed – Simone De Beauvoir


Maybe this is just the exception to the rule, maybe I’m inclined to like this book more than other feminist works because of my walks through De Beauvoir Town (North London) on my way to basketball practice, maybe I liked it because she was the best at her trade, maybe because it’s a series of short stories and, because of that, it’s less daunting than it could have been, or maybe I simply read this book at a time when I was more open to a different kind of literature from the one I normally enjoy.

Or probably it’s just that the final monologue is simply so, so beautifully written.
