When the Rayson family leaves the East Coast for the gathering anarchy of Berkeley, young Alice Rayson embraces the moment in a place that's fast becoming a cultural ground zero--and for a girl, that's no Summer of Love.

Studying the work of Richard Wright and Simone de Beauvoir, this account examines the development of social constructionist concepts of race, gender and sexuality in the decade after 1945. It examines Beauvoir's use of, and dissent from, 1940s psychoanalytic theories of femininity, and also studies the social construction of sexuality in Baldwin.
