Beauvoir’s only route to intellectual prominence was attaching her ideas to influential men

Evidence

Yet the old Sartre/ Beauvoir legend premises itself on the notion that the same public opportunities open to Sartre as an intellectual were open to Beauvoir. When seventy-fi ve years ago Beauvoir was fi rst considering how to bring her philosophical ideas to the forefront of world attention, her one and only viable option was to make the public identify them with well-connected men. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 338
