De Beauvoir is considered as one of the most influential French women of the 20th century and the philosopher was famous for her liberal views about sex and notoriously had an open ‘marriage’ with the novelist Jean-Paul Satre.

The collaboration also depicts de Beauvoir sitting down reading a copy of Cosmopolitan magazine and pokes fun at female obsessions such as  fashion, dieting, beauty and shopping  – pass times that Beauvoir wouldn’t approve.
