The first issue of Les Temps Modernes is published –– a monthly cultural and political journal led by Sartre and Beauvoir, with a host of other major figures on the editorial board.
The journal is named after a Charlie Chaplin film. Pablo Picasso designed the cover.
Here, I review the final instalment of the English translation of Simone de Beauvoir’s student diary as well as Margaret A. Simons’s treatment of the sexual assault it alludes to.
