Abstract

Simone de Beauvoir's influence, particularly through her Second Sex and Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, has been personally and intellectually decisive for Annie Ernaux who just like Beauvoir turned from a both dutiful and disturbed girl into a disturbing author as evidenced by her narrative A Girl's Story. This article precisely aims at studying how the 'disturbed' and 'disturbing' paradigms open the way to a reassessment of A Girl's Story in light of Beauvoir's Second Sex and Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, and bring so to the fore the organic bond connecting Ernaux to Beauvoir.
