Title: Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre
Description: The authors explore the contention that Simone de Beauvoir was more the dominent influence in the relationship between her and Jean-Paul Sartre. It is important because it presents a startling new view of one of the legendary sexual and intellectual partnerships of the twentieth century, the relationship between the father of existentialism and the matriarch of feminism.
