A proposito di questo titolo
Friday, Jan 9: The 118th birthday of Simone de Beauvoir. A look at the "Mother of Second-Wave Feminism," her partnership with Sartre, and why her work was banned by the Vatican.
Saturday, Jan 10: The 250th anniversary of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. How a 47-page pamphlet in plain English sparked the American Revolution.

Poem/Excerpt: From The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir (Public Domain).
Writing Prompts:
The Becoming: Simone de Beauvoir argued we "become" who we are. Write a letter to your past self describing one specific moment where you felt you "became" the person you are today.
Common Sense: Identify a modern issue that feels overly complicated. Write a one-page "pamphlet" using only simple, forceful language to explain why a specific change is necessary.
The Beloved Land: Inspired by Alan Paton, write a paragraph describing a landscape you love, focusing on how that landscape makes you feel responsible for its future.
