Simone.



  
One of my favorite artists is Simone de Beauvoir, who was an feminist intellectual, existencialist philosopher writer, political activist, feminist and social theorist. Apart from her text about philosophy, Simone didn’t consider herself a philosopher; her work cover topics like literary creation, the progress of left-wing politics before and after de Second War, and about the pain and the perception of the “self”. Her novels and essays are considerer biographic work, a lot of them describe her life with Jean Paul Sartre and the way that they perceived the love and how they lived consider that. Other works are an exhaustive analysis about the play of women and the construction of her role in society, focus in the marginalization that they were victims in those years.  Her work is extremely revealing in her life and epoch. She was very intelligent, and courageous, because has to disassociate oneself from her family, religion and the social rules that was impose. To me, Simone is one of the most important figures because I admire her and share many of her ideas.




“The man is not a rock and neither a plant, and he cannot excuse oneself for his mere present in the world. The man is a man only because his negation of being passive, for the impulse that project him since the present to the future and direct him to thinks with the purpose of dominate and give them form. For the man, exist mean restructure the existence. Live is the willpower of live.” Simone de Beauvoir.
