A WALK THROUGH THE LIFE OF SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR
Carmen G. of the Cave · Lumen · 2018
The tandem formed by the illustrator Malota and Carmen G. De la Cueva – founder of the community La Tribu de Frida – worked very well for Lumen in the book Mother, I want to be a feminist, the personal story of how the author came to embrace feminism. That's why the publisher repeats the formula, but this time focused on only one of the mothers of feminism, the French writer and essayist Simone de Beauvoir, author of a book as totemic for the movement as The Second Sex. De la Cueva reviews the life of a woman, obsessive walker, who rejected the “natural conventions” of women and focused all her energy on owing nothing to anyone. S.M.
