In 1949 Simone de Beauvior published The Second sex - one of the great philosophical works of the 2oth century.
Kate Kirpatrick, who lectures religion philosophy and culture at Kings College in London, and who specialises in the study of de Beauvoir and her partner Jean Paul Satre, has chosen 2019 to launch a biography on the great French thinker - called Becoming Beauvoir - A Life.
