Over 2,500 scholarly works have been published about her, including close analyses and readings of her work, since 1995. After her graduation from formal education, Weil became a teacher.

Weil wrote throughout her life, although most of her writings did not attract much attention until after her death. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
