Simone de Beauvoir, Feminist, Intellectual, Philosopher, and Woman
According to Beauvoir, the independence of awareness is both liberating and difficult to deal with. That person would argue that everyone is born with the ability to provide meaning to their lives. And, no matter how hard we try, our innate drive to discover meaning and make it happen in the world will never be completely satisfied.
Simone de Beauvoir is criminally ignored as a brilliant contributor to the philosophy of Existentialism. She elegantly engages with absurdity without becoming mired in it like her contemporaries.
