[edit] The Second Sex

Hello, please don't take this as being a criticism of your excellent work but I have flagged The Second Sex as being too long and in need of shortening and cleanup to make a better article. I read your synopsis and it was helpful to me to understand the gist of the book, but the trouble is that at over 20,000 words it appears to be too long for the general reader. I would wonder if it might be a good idea to get the opinion of an administrator as to what would be the best compromise between conciseness and completeness. I looked at it and I would be very hesitant to cut it as I might be cutting the parts which need to be left. Also I'm uncertain what parts are directly from the source and what parts (if any) might be inadvertently an unpublished synthesis. (I'm not calling it such, but I can see more than one writing style in it.) Thanks.Trilobitealive (talk) 22:41, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Although I agree that it is too long, that very thorough summary certainly helped me with a class assignment. Thanks for the hard work! --Crosscountrycpjon (talk) 03:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
