From Amazon.com:
<p>A superb autobiography by one of the great literary figures of the twentieth century, <b>Simone de Beauvoir</b>'s <b>Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter</b> offers an intimate picture of growing up in a bourgeois French family, rebelling as an adolescent against the conventional expectations of her class, and striking out on her own with an intellectual and existential ambition exceedingly rare in a young woman in the 1920s.</p> <p>She vividly evokes her friendships, love interests, mentors, and the early days of the most important relationship of her life, with fellow student Jean-Paul Sartre, against the backdrop of a turbulent political time.</p>
