She studied at École normale supérieure and obtained the agrégation in philosophy in 2014. In 2017, she completed her doctoral thesis at the University of Paris I - Panthéon Sorbonne.
In 2016, she obtained a teaching position at Harvard University, then a research and teaching position at the University of Chicago.
According to her, there are two forms of submission: one by force, which leaves no choice but to submit, and another more complex one, involving a kind of "cost-benefit calculation". However, this submission would not be linked to any "feminine nature", but the result of social conditioning. She analyzes the causes that push women into submission, and highlights the paradox in a consented female submission, notably through the thought of Simone de Beauvoir, herself a model of contradictions between a form of submission in her personal life and a desire to revolutionize social norms.
