According to Simone DB, why is it that women have difficulty organizing themselves?

Question

This is based on the book second sex and it's the introduction. I am sooo confused

Answer 1

Hi Layla,

 

I'm not sure if you're confused about the answer to the question or confused by the question itself. I have not read the book, so I really can't help much with the answer. However, I can help with the question.

In 1946, Simone de Beauvoir wrote The Second Sex, a book which has been described as revolutionary and incendiary.  The question pre-supposes that women in 1946 had difficulty "organizing themselves": getting together to protest and petition for change.  So, it is asking about what de Beauvoir thought about why that was the case.

 

I expect you'll need to read the book to uncover the answer.  Good luck.  I hope this helps.
