  1. Good Morning,
    I'm joining you because I would like to find the english translation of "La condition ouvrière", 1931.
    I'm a french speaker but it's really important to me to find this translation.
    Do you know if this text has been translated in english ?

    Thanks you very much

  2. Milena, Sorry for the very long delay in responding to this. We have been focusing on works about Simone rather than translations of her works, but there is definitely a need here and we have been noting works which contain editions of her texts. For this work, "La condition ouvrière", though a search of the database Index Translationum (UNESCO's international bibliography of translations) and Worldcat I have located translations of this text in German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Serbo-Croation, Chinese and Japanese BUT NOT English!!
