I've been reading this about her recently. Covers her thoughts in general and the context which they rose. It's pretty good.

>Weil was born in her parents' apartment in Paris on 3 February 1909. Her mother was Saolomea Weil and her father Bernard was a medical doctor. Both were Alsatian Jews

Why are the best /lit/fu's always Jews?

Were gentiles even trying in the 20th century?

She wrote a lot about structures of power, and the tension of power that exists in all human relationships.

Also did a lot of commentary on the Iliad to show this. If you're into the classics and want to learn how to read them better, find some of her essays on it.
