SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR

Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) was a French writer  social theorist  existential philosopher 
and activist. She is perhaps most famous for her 1949 treatise  The Second Sex  a foundational
work of contemporary feminism. Ahead of her time  she was instrumental in social movements
championing the legalisation of abortions in France. Together with her partner  Jean-Paul
Sartre  she challenged the cultural and social assumptions of her time. Though she did not
consider herself a philosopher  thinking of herself first and foremost as a writer  her
influence on contemporary philosophy remains significant. The conception and design behind our
bookends stem from Swedish renowned industrial designer  Jan Landqvist and are made in the
small town of Gnosjö in the south of Sweden.
