Simone de Beauvoir

Simone de Beauvoir (1908–1986) was a French existentialist philosopher, novelist, and intellectual who became one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. She was the youngest person ever to pass the agrégation in philosophy at the Sorbonne, where she formed her legendary partnership with Jean-Paul Sartre—a relationship of radical equality that scandalized and fascinated the world.
