A philosopher, writer, and feminist icon, she won prestigious literary prizes and transformed the way we think about gender with \u003ci\u003eThe Second Sex\u003c\/i\u003e. But despite her successes, she wondered if she had sold herself short.\u003cbr\u003eHer 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. \u003cbr\u003eThis ground-breaking biography draws on never-before-published diaries and letters to tell the fascinating story of how Simone de Beauvoir became herself.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46629789499550,"sku":"UBD-9781350168435","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350168435.jpg?v=1774221007","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350168435","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
