Simone de Beauvoir asks, "How can a human being in woman's situation attain fulfillment? What roads are open to her? Which are blocked? How can independence be recovered in a state of dependency? What circumstances limit woman's liberty and how can they be overcome?" Though she was writing in the 1940s are any of these questions still relevant today? If so, which ones and why? If not, explain.
