Features: The author, Claudine Monteil, is a PhD in history. In May 1968, this young woman of only twenty years old plunged into the "May 68 Movement," thereby entering the circle of Sartre and de Beauvoir, and becoming a close friend of Hélène de Beauvoir, Simone de Beauvoir's younger sister. Over the following two decades, she remained devoted to Simone de Beauvoir, becoming a core member of the "Women's Liberation Movement" organization she founded. This close relationship allowed her to write this biographical work twenty years after Sartre's death and fourteen years after de Beauvoir's passing.
