Natalie Sorokin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Natalie Sorokin (also Sorokine; 1921[1]–1967[2]) was a French woman who had affairs with Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre.[3][4]

Existential life with Simone de Beauvoir[]

In June 1943 Sorokin's mother complained to the school authorities that Beauvoir had led her daughter astray. Beauvoir was accused of behavior leading to the corruption of a minor and her teaching license was suspended for the rest of her life.[5] Sorokin later said her relationship with Beauvoir and Sartre came to an end when she found this relationship serving only one party.[6]

Later life[]

After recovering from her trauma, Sorokin started writing and worked for radio.[5] She later married Ivan Moffat, the son of the British actress and poet Iris Tree and artist and photographer Curtis Moffat.[7]
