"One is not born a woman, but becomes one", Simone de Beauvoir A
symbol of liberated womanhood, Simone de Beauvoir's unconventional
relationships inspired and scandalised her generation. A
philosopher, writer, and feminist icon, she won prestigious
literary prizes and transformed the way we think about gender with
The Second Sex. But despite her successes, she wondered if she had
sold herself short. Her liaison with Jean-Paul Sartre has been
billed as one of the most legendary love affairs of the twentieth
century. But for Beauvoir it came at a cost: for decades she was
dismissed as an unoriginal thinker who 'applied' Sartre's ideas. In
recent years new material has come to light revealing the ingenuity
of Beauvoir's own philosophy and the importance of other lovers in
her life. This ground-breaking biography draws on
never-before-published diaries and letters to tell the fascinating
story of how Simone de Beauvoir became herself.
