Meet Simone de Beauvoir, the great French philosopher and mother of feminism.

When Simone was a little girl, her father would proudly boast that she had the brain of a man, whatever that meant. But later, after years of studying, Simone would write a book that challenged the role of women in society, sending shock waves around the world.

This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the philosopher's life.
