false 141421 17 These three long stories draw us into the lives of three women, all past their first youth, all facing unexpected crises. In the title story, the heroine's serenity is shattered when she learns that her husband is having an affair. In "The Age of Discretion," a successful, happily married professor finds herself increasingly distressed by her son's absorption in his young wife and her worldly values. In "The Monologue," a rich, spoiled woman, home alone on New Year's Eve, pours out a lifetime's rage and frustration in a harrowing diatribe. Enthralling as fiction, suffused with de Beauvoir's remarkable insights into women, The Woman Destroyed gives us a legendary writer at her best. 2496851 book 1967 La femme rompue total:419|5:121|4:157|3:111|2:23|1:7| 419 1619 593 23 2 1 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 05:40:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 06:26:09 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Oct 21 11:13:31 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 21 11:19:56 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Jul 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 01:03:03 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 01:04:14 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu May 03 13:09:09 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 20 11:33:16 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sun Sep 02 13:34:13 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 02 13:35:01 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Dec 28 14:00:21 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 14:01:20 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Jun 07 16:09:33 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 15:00:20 -0700 2009 4 0 true false Tue Aug 21 00:44:40 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 12:35:27 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 15:07:22 -0700 2007
