  <about><![CDATA[&quot;Simone de Beauvoir (January 9, 1908 – April 14, 1986) was a French author and philosopher. She wrote novels, monographs on philosophy, politics, and social issues, essays, biographies, and an autobiography. She is now best known for her metaphysical novels, including &lt;i&gt;She Came to Stay&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;The Mandarins&lt;/i&gt;, and for her 1949 treatise &lt;i&gt;The Second Sex&lt;/i&gt;, a detailed analysis of women's oppression and a foundational tract of contemporary feminism.&quot;
