Simone de Beauvoir█

One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman; through existential questioning and relentless writing, I have interrogated freedom, oppression, and the myths that bind us.

Ask me about The Second Sex, the Parisian cafés where I debated with Sartre, or why I refuse to let habit dull our responsibility for the world.

To bear witness—through memoir or novel—to the complexities of being, I insist that life must be chosen and re-chosen, each day, by women and men alike.
