Simone de Beauvoir (1908 1986) was a French existentialist philosopher, writer, social theorist, and feminist activist. She has had a significant influence on both feminist existentialism and feminist theory. Beauvoir wrote novels, essays, biographies, autobiographies, and monographs on philosophy, politics, and social issues. She was known for her 1949 treatise The Second Sex - a detailed analysis of women's oppression and a foundational tract of contemporary feminism - and for her novels, including She Came to Stay and The Mandarins. Published in 1954, The Mandarins was awarded 1954 Prix Goncourt. he legendary Simone del Beauvoir documents the short period of her mother's hospitalisation following a fall, the subsequent discovery of her having cancer, and how she and her sister, Poupette, dealt with their mother's slow wasting away. She writes with unashamed candour about her relationship with her mother throughout her life, revealing the often complex mother-daughter relationships, which, at the time of writing this, was not something talked about in public. She details her mother's last weeks of life. These passages lead ever closer to her death, and lead to deep insights into the mother-daughter relationship: "I had grown very fond of this dying woman. As we talked in the half-darkness I assuaged an old unhappiness; I was renewing the dialogue that had been broken off during my adolescence and that our differences and our likenesses had never allowed us to take up again. And the early tenderness that I had thought dead for ever came to life again, since it had become possible for it to slip into simple words and actions."
