Trade Review
Praise for past volumes of the Diary

“This indispensable volume offers a panorama of Beauvoir's intellectual preoccupations. The translators and editors are to be applauded for producing such a valuable contribution to Beauvoir studies.”--French Studies

“This diary increases our admiration for Beauvoir's heroic determination to make something of herself. A precious document.”--Bookforum

“This is a truly remarkable book, and a significant contribution to Beauvoir scholarship. Barbara Klaw’s excellent translation provides unique access to the formative years of one of the twentieth century's great philosophers, authors, and public intellectuals.”--Tove Pettersen, President of the International Simone de Beauvoir Society
