Simone de Beauvoir - Mug

One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman. The Second Sex ran to nearly a thousand pages and reset the terms of the argument permanently. Wrapped around a glossy mug for the eleven minutes a day you are honest.

• Print that stays put: The design will not fade out after a fortnight of washing up.
• Overdue recognition: Existentialist in her own right, not a footnote to anyone else's career.

Freedom is not given. It is taken, in public, at cost. Equally suited to strong coffee, weak tea and evening whisky. Claim one and drink to better questions.
