Description
Simone de Beauvoir's life was one of contradictions - a philosopher who challenged traditional gender roles, yet struggled with her own identity. This biography draws on previously unpublished diaries and letters to reveal the fascinating story of how she became herself. Beauvoir's unconventional relationships and her famous liaison with Jean-Paul Sartre have been well-documented, but this book sheds new light on the ingenuity of her philosophy and the importance of other lovers in her life. By exploring Beauvoir's inner world, we gain a deeper understanding of her thought-provoking ideas. Through never-before-published sources, Becoming Beauvoir: A Life offers a fresh perspective on one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers.
