Her major workthe second sex had in 1949 a great success in thestates but it came too soon for France: it wascondamned by Church and put in the Judex.What seemsnormal inN. Mailerors disgutingin a W.'s bookMiller And as a wmnwomen is always insulted through her organs There too F. Mauriac was shocked andwrote : Now we all kwon the vagina of S. de BvrSimone de Beauvoir !Exactly the same send thought : wmnwomen aredenied the right to describe this body.

Those who write sucesfully or they are obsessedby theirlower instants,or they are are supposed to be sterile old mases.In 1893, the Goncourt brothers dared writevery seriously in their famous "Journal": If onlya Drdoctor could carry out a post-mortem exam of wmnwomen with someoriginal gift. Mme G.SandGeorges Sand for instance - he wldwould evidently discover they had genitals similar to men's.and a long clirtoris resembling our penis."
