Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.

75 years ago #onthisday the first volume of Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex was published. Within a week, it sold over 20,000 copies. Within months, Beauvoir expressed astonishment that it attracted the attention—and attacks—that it did.
