In 1929, the French philosophers #Jean-Paul_Sartre and #Simone_de_Beauvoir agreed to commit to an open relationship: one that lasted until Sartre’s death in 1980.
“De Beauvoir had declared that whatever her many books and literary prizes, whatever her role in the women’s movement, her greatest achievement in life was her relationship with Sartre,” says the author Lisa Appignanesi in this film.
