About this program
Return to Beauvoir the writer
Dai Jinhua revisits Simone de Beauvoir beyond the familiar icon of existentialism and feminism. Her novels, memoirs, and essays honestly record women as contradictory people in reality—not ideals of what they ought to be.
Across time, two women intellectuals meet through texts and seek the courage to confront the world, choose, and live with an imperfect self.
