I've been hunting for an English translation of any of the works of Simone de Beauvoir. So far none of her books are available as ebooks and we'll all be dead before the US copyright expires on The Second Sex in 2066. The publisher seems to have the copyright locked up on it although they did finally agree, after decades of requests from academics and even Beauvoir herself to allow a new translation. The original one was reportedly pretty bad and it's an important piece of literature.
