Bair's account explores it well.…moreAbsolutely, yes. de Beauvoir's life can't begin to be understood without reference to her relationship to Satre. Bair's account explores it well.(less)

Which is more appropriate, Second Sex or A Biography? I am considering an informal lunchtime reading of one of these books, I will use the English and my 19 year old Japanese students will use the Japanese. Their English level is low, but they are eager students. Please reply to my daitoclass@yahoo.com address within the next few days.
