Abstract
In this interview filmed in Paris for Radio-Canada in 1959, Simone de Beauvoir explains her philosophy, existentialism, her political commitment, and her theories on atheism and free love. She also talks about the process of writing her autobiography "Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter", one of the central endeavors of her literary work as she went on to write three more volumes. This interview was censored by the Canadian broadcaster at the time under pressure of the Catholic Church because of the views she expressed.
