Simone de Beauvoir has endured many experiences in her life, stemming from her works of writing and applying it to feminism and societal changes. The works of Beauvoir have reached the outermost parts of the world and have become feminist writing pillars for generations to come.

It is thought to be the continuation of “Pyrrhus et Cineas,” stemming from the fact that humans have no necessity and predetermined essence/standards to live for (Bergoffen, Simone de Beauvoir). One important idea that circulates throughout the writing is that the human freedom requires the freedom of others to be realized in the real world. Simone also adds on that in order to reach or find perfection, many individuals need to sacrifice others along the way to make that decision (Bergoffen, Simone de Beauvoir). One important theory that is derived from her philosophical text is that the spontaneous internal drive that humans control is usually crushed by the external weight of the world (Mussett, Simone de Beauvoir). In today’s society, the external weight of the world can extend from personal problems to even relationship issues and job problems. This external weight is outside of any one person's individual control and is not of someone’s choosing. Beauvoir follows a principle in which people shall immerse themselves in projects from a spontaneous choice. This idea also builds upon the notion of freedom. One’s freedom is not whatever they can do in the world, but rather what projects people pursue and why they pursue them in the first
