Summary/Abstract: The article is intended as a comparative analysis of the two writers – Anaïs Nin and Simone de Beauvoir – from the point of view of their private writings, as well as their relationship with these personal notebooks turned public intentionally. There are numerous similarities between the two, as are differences. The two diarists were firstly compared from the perspective of their fidelity to the rules of the diary, as well as of their relationship with the reader or addressee of the diary, these two being not necessarily the same. Both diarists deliberately break the rules of diarism, and the authenticity of their diaries resides precisely in this aspect.
