Destroyed Woman

In her generation, one of the most influential thinkers draws readers into the lives of three women who are all past their first youth and facing unexpected crises in three "immensely intelligent stories about the decay of passion" (The Sunday Herald Times). With her remarkable insights into women, The Woman Destroyed by de Beauvoir showcases a legendary writer at her best. The collection includes "The Age of Discretion," "The Monologue," and "The Woman Destroyed."

Described as "witty, immensely adroit," these stories present three believable individuals with a wry mixture of sympathy and exasperation, as noted by The Atlantic.
