Monteil is one of the founders of the women's rights movement in 1970, along with being a specialist on Simone de Beauvoir. While working on women's rights, she was a long close friend of Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Beauvoir's sister, the painter Hélène de Beauvoir. Her writings on the Beauvoirs, Sartre, and French feminism have been translated into multiple languages.[2]
