£9.99
Simone de Beauvoir was a brilliant scholar & novelist, leading member of the existentialist movement & a committed socialist & feminist. Raised in a very respectable environment, as a young woman she rejected her parents’ values & embarked on a literary career. Her philosophy & views are as relevant today as during her lifetime.
Simone de Beauvoir was a member of the intellectual elite of philosopher-writers whose feminist ideas revolutionised conventional thinking. She is known primarily for her monumental work: The Second Sex, (1949) a scholarly and passionate seminal work, which became a classic of feminist literature but also for her partnership with the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, France’s most celebrated and unconventional intellectual couplings.
