Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter

by Simone De Beauvoir

Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A superb autobiography by one of the great literary figures of the twentieth century, Simone de Beauvoir's Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter offers an intimate picture of growing up in a bourgeois French family, rebelling as an adolescent against the conventional expectations of her class, and striking out on her own with an intellectual and existential ambition exceedingly rare in a young woman in the 1920s.

She vividly evokes her friendships, love interests, mentors, and the early days of the most important relationship of her life, with fellow student Jean-Paul Sartre, against the backdrop of a turbulent political time.

Synopsis:

The autobiography of literary doyenne Simone de Beauvoir.

About the Author
