The period from 1933 to 1943 marked the darkest chapter in European history. Facing catastrophe, four philosophers—Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, Simone Weil, and Ayn Rand—developed their visionary ideas—on the relationship between the individual and society, between man and woman, between freedom and totalitarianism, between God and humanity—that would sweep the globe and change the world in the second half of the century. German historian of ideas and philosopher Wolfram Eilenberger follows the journey of his heroines, from Leningrad to New York and from Spain at the height of the civil war to Nazi-occupied France, to trace the twisting trajectories of their destinies. They confront the injustice, unfreedom, and incomprehensible violence of their time as women, refugees, members of the Resistance, but above all, as thinkers. As we follow the smelting of their radical ideas in the merciless crucible of time, we, along with the heroines, become convinced of the redemptive power of thought.
