’ (one might marvel whether or not she meant The Years here, because the Waves is mentioned several times in the Second Sex); Flush, which she says she is very ‘fond of’ however never mentions elsewhere; Woolf’s diary, which she says is ‘fascinating’ but ‘foreign’ to her because Woolf is ‘too involved with whether she’ll be published, with what people will think of her’; and, lastly, A Room of One’s Own, whose argument about Judith Shakespeare she paraphrased within the Second Sex however could not quote immediately as the first French translation, by Clara Malraux, would solely come out in 1951, two years after Gallimard published Le Deuxième Sexe. Beauvoir began studying it in the following months, as her unpublished diaries reveal: on the 25 May 1958, as she was revising her first volume of autobiography for publication, Beauvoir referred to reading Woolf’s diary using the current tense (‘Quand je lis le Journal de Virginia Woolf, je suis passionnée’; ‘When I read Virginia Woolf’s Diary I’m excited’), and in a later diary entry dated March 1961 she writes ‘Est-ce fuite, paresse d’entreprendre le livre qu’il faudra bien écrire quand j’aurai fini de parler de moi ?

This necessary literary award convinced the French publisher Stock to amass the rights for translating Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse in the identical 12 months, with other more overtly politicised texts like Orlando and A Room of One’s Own being initially thought-about to be too ‘English’ for a French readership – the latter nationwide categorisation blatantly hiding a form of patriarchal bias in plain sight.

In this sense, Beauvoir’s later declaration within the second quantity of her autobiography that she read ‘all of Woolf’ in these years appears to point to the years 1929 to 1931, but if she read Woolf earlier than 1931, she never recorded it in her diary.
