Simone Weil

Simone Weil (1909–1943) was at turns an activist, a laborer, theologist, and writer, though this does not even come close to summing up the scope of her brief life. A brilliant academic whose entire existence was the relentless pursuit of solidarity with the afflicted, Weil, unlike most political thinkers, was someone who lived her convictions. She died at the age of 34 from cardiac failure. Though the details of her death have been posthumously debated, a common account is that she starved herself by eating WWII soldier’s rations.
