The Second Sex

by De Beauvoir, Simone (1989)

Key Passage

It is not to be supposed, however, that the mere combination of the right to vote and a job constitutes a complete emancipation: working, today, is not liberty. Only in a socialist world would woman by the one attain the other. The majority of workers are exploited today. (p.680)
