Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter

A superb autobiography by one of the great literary figures of the twentieth century, `Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter` offers an intimate picture of growing up in a bourgeois French family, rebelling as an adolescent against the conventional expectations of her class, and striking out on her own with an intellectual and existential ambition exceedingly rare in a young woman in the 1920s. Simone de Beavoir describes her early life, from her birth in Paris in 1908 to her student days at the Sorbonne, where she met Jean-Paul Sartre – “the dream-companion I had longed for since I was fifteen”.
