Simone Weil  

Definición

  • Simone Weil was a teacher, a labor activist, a public intellectual, and a political theorist with deep and varied religious and mystical sensibilities. She was born in Paris to an assimilated bourgeois Jewish household, and studied at the Ecole Normale Supérieure where she earned the nickname “Red Virgin” for her enthrallment with asceticism and the mystique of labor, combined with a militant commitment to trade union activities.
