Born on January 9, 1908 in Paris, France, Simone de Beauvoir was an influential and well-respected French author, existentialist philosopher, social theorist, active feminist and political activist.
She was one of the leading figures in 20th century feminist existentialism and she was a pioneer in second-wave feminism, which began in the US in the early 1960s.
De Beauvoir published numerous philosophical essays, including the 1944 Pyrrhus et Cineas and the 1947 work Ethics of Ambiguity, in addition to short stories, novels exploring major existentialist themes, a four-volume autobiography, several biographies, and monographs on feminist, philosophical, social and political issues (she was a vehement critic of capitalism).
