Simone Weil

A female writer who discusses themes of great interest in her Riflessioni sulle cause della libertà e dell'oppressione sociale. She was 25 just like me when she wrote it. Is it possible freedom from hard work conditions? What is the meaning of oppression? Somewhere I read she belonged to a rich (bourgeois?) family, but decided to work in a factory for a while to understand what labour means and how work is sometimes close to the concept of slavery.
