Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous decade from 1933 to 1943, the narrative explores the lives and philosophies of four influential women whose ideas shaped the 20th century. Simone de Beauvoir laid the groundwork for modern feminism, while Ayn Rand emerged as a powerful political voice. Hannah Arendt contributed pivotal leftist concepts, and Simone Weil dedicated herself to humanitarian efforts amidst the chaos of war. Their intersecting paths highlight a rich dialogue of contrasting ideologies during one of history's darkest times.
