Her push for women's involvement in politics provided a backdrop for the discussions that figures like Simone de Beauvoir would later engage in.

INFLUENCED

Engels' works on the family and gender roles provided a foundational understanding that shaped de Beauvoir's arguments about existentialism and feminism.
