Simone de Beauvoir – Philosopher – Deceased at 78

Simone de Beauvoir was a unique and fascinating woman who broke dozens of stereotypes during her life. She was a famous writer, philosopher, activist, and feminist, who without a doubt, shaped the course of history with her thoughts and actions.

Beauvoir’s attitude towards marriage and having children was not traditional. She preferred to commit that time to her academic work and career. Still, Simone was known to have been in a relationship with Jean-Paul Satre for 51 years. Not many couples stay together for so long, so maybe these two found their own path to happiness.
