Question: Who lived for longer, Paula Fox or Simone de Beauvoir?
Context: Paula Fox (April 22, 1923 – March 1, 2017) was an American author of novels for adults and children and of two memoirs.  For her contributions as a children's writer she won the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1978, the highest international recognition for a creator of children's books.  She also won several awards for particular children's books including the 1974 Newbery Medal for her novel "The Slave Dancer"; a 1983 National Book Award in category Children's Fiction (paperback) for "A Place Apart"; and the 2008 Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis for "A Portrait of Ivan" (1969) in its German-language edition "Ein Bild von Ivan". When Things of the Spirit Come First is Simone de Beauvoir's 'first' work of fiction.  After a number of false starts, in 1937 she submitted this collection of interlinked stories to a publisher.  But it was turned down by both Gallimard and Grasset.  It consists of five short stories which are weaved together in such a way that it to structurally similar to a more traditional novel.  The first, "Maurcelle", tells the story of the oldest of three siblings.  She marries an abusive artist.  The second, "Chantal", tells the story of a lycee philosophy teacher (like de Beauvoir).  She idealizes her life and becomes involved in the lives of her students but ultimately refuses to help them.  "Lisa" is the third and shortest story, about a girl who struggles to live a spiritual life while existing in a physical body.  "Anne", the fourth story, is the result of many of de Beauvoir's earlier attempts at writing.  It parallels the story of her friend Elisabeth Mabille (Zaza) who died soon after her mother refused to allow her to marry Maurice Merleau-Ponty.  The final story, "Marguarite" expresses the existential views that de Beauvoir herself believed that life itself should be experienced, rather than spirituality. Olga Kosakiewicz (; 6 November 1915 – 1983) was a student of Simone de Beauvoir who joined the circle of de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre in 1935, aged 19.  She and her sister, Wanda, were fused together to make one central character in de Beauvoir's first novel "L'Invitée" ("She Came to Stay", 1943), which was dedicated to Olga (where her name appears as Kosakievicz in the Norton translation). The Simone de Beauvoir Prize (French: "Prix Simone de Beauvoir pour la liberté des femmes" ) is an international human rights prize for women's freedom, awarded since 2008 to individuals or groups fighting for gender equality and opposing breaches of human rights.  It is named after the French author and philosopher Simone de Beauvoir, known for her 1949 women's rights treatise "The Second Sex". Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir ( or ; ] ; 9 January 1908 – 14 April 1986) was a French writer, intellectual, existentialist philosopher, political activist, feminist and social theorist.  Though she did not consider herself a philosopher, she had a significant influence on both feminist existentialism and feminist theory. Henriette-Hélène de Beauvoir (6 June 1910, Paris – 1 July 2001, Goxwiller) was a French painter.  She was the younger sister of philosopher Simone de Beauvoir.  Her art was exhibited in Europe, Japan, and the US.  She married Lionel de Roulet. Bianca Lamblin (born Bienenfeld) (April 1921 in Lublin – 5 November 2011) was a French writer who was romantically involved with both Jean-Paul Sartre and his lifelong companion Simone de Beauvoir, for a number of years.  Her book, "Mémoires d'une Jeune Fille Dérangée" (published in English under the title, "A Disgraceful Affair"), is an account of her long-lasting involvement with two of the most prominent French thinkers of the twentieth century.  In correspondence between Sartre and Beauvoir, the pseudonym Louise Védrine was used when referring to Bianca in "Lettres au Castor" and in "Lettres à Sartre".  Lamblin later lamented of being abused by both Sartre and Beauvoir. Natalie Sorokin (born 1926), a French woman, had affairs with Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre.  In June 1943 Sorokin's mother complained to the school authorities that De Beauvoir had led her daughter astray.  De Beauvoir was accused of behavior leading to the corruption of a minor and her teaching license was suspended for the rest of her life.  Sorokin later said her relationship with De Beauvoir and Sartre came to an end when she found this relationship serving only one part.  She then started writing and worked for radio. The Second Sex (French: "Le Deuxième Sexe" ) is a 1949 book by the French existentialist Simone de Beauvoir, in which the author discusses the treatment of women throughout history.  Beauvoir researched and wrote the book in about 14 months when she was 38 years old.  She published it in two volumes, "Facts and Myths" and "Lived Experience" ("Les faits et les mythes" and "L'expérience vécue" in French).  Some chapters first appeared in "Les Temps modernes".  One of Beauvoir's best-known books, "The Second Sex" is often regarded as a major work of feminist philosophy and the starting point of second-wave feminism.
