Simone de Beauvoir is one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, as a philosopher, feminist, novelist and author of the landmark work, "The Second Sex". Nevertheless, as is shown in this biography, her remarkable life was inextricably entwined with another intellectual giant, Jean-Paul Sartre. De Beauvoir emerges from the book as a mass of contradictions - fiercely independent, yet enslaved by her relationship with Sartre; feminist, yet ill-at-ease with other women; theoretically opposed to jealousy or submission, yet actually torn by them. Deirdre Bair has also written an award-winning biography of Samuel Beckett.
