BIOGRAPHY
Simone de Beauvoir was born on January
9, 1908, in Paris, France. When she was 21, de Beauvoir met
Jean-Paul Sartre, forming a partnership and romance that would shape
her life and philosophical beliefs. Beauvoir published many works of
fiction and non-fiction aligned with existentialist ideas. Her
best-known work is 1949's The Second Sex, a feminist text. She died in Paris on April 14, 1986.
FEMINISM AND PHILOSOPHY
Simone de Beauvoir gained notoriety for her work Le Deuxième
Sexe (The Second Sex), published in 1949. The 972-page
book, which analyzes reasons why women's role in society was
characterized as inferior to men, was received with great
controversy. Some critics characterized the book as pornography, and
the Vatican placed it on the Index of Forbidden Books.Le Deuxième Sexe was published in America in 1953, but the English edition was only a shadow of the original, as a zoologist with limited French skills translated it. In 2009, an unedited English volume was published, bolstering de Beauvoir's reputation as a feminist.
De Beauvoir published an assortment of both fiction and non-fiction works. Of the former, Les Mandarins (The Mandarins, 1954) is the best known; the Prix Goncourt-winning work urges the educated population to participate in political activism.
De Beauvoir's own interest in politics sparked after World War II. She criticized capitalism and defended communism.
In her later career, de Beauvoir wrote about aging. Une Mort Très Douce (A Very Easy Death, 1964) details her mother's death.
Her 1981 work, La Cérémonie des Adieux (Adieux: A Farewell to Sartre), recalls the last years of her partner's life.
De Beauvoir died six years after Sartre. The two share a grave.
In this picture I've tried to represent the union between Simone and Sartre, feminism and philodophy.
