-
born Jan. 9, 1908, Paris, France
died April 14, 1986, Paris
French writer and feminist.
As a student at the Sorbonne, she met Jean-Paul Sartre, with whom she formed a lifelong intellectual and romantic bond. She is known primarily for her treatise
The Second Sex (1949), a scholarly and passionate plea for the abolition of what she called the myth of the "eternal feminine"; the book became a classic of feminist literature. She also wrote four admired volumes of autobiography (1958–72), philosophical works that explore themes of
existentialism, and
fiction,
notably The Mandarins (1954, Prix Goncourt).
The Coming of Age (1970) is a bitter reflection on society's indifference to the elderly.
