Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir (, ;[2][3]French:[simɔndəbovwaʁ]ⓘ; 9 January – 14 April ) was a French existentialist philosopher, writer, social theorist, and feminist activist.

Simone de Beauvoir as a literary theorist’, PMLA, vol. , no. 1 (), pp. – LAUREN DU GRAF For most of her life Simone de Beauvoir was a disciplined cinephile. At the height of her cinemagoing she watched three films a day, though bygd the time she had reached her mid sixties she could no longer be bothered to ‘take the trouble, to stand in a queue, and to undergo the news and the advertisements’.1 But throughout her life she approached the labour of image consumption with rigour, a practice t
