Connie Borde and Sheila Malovany-Chevallier first crossed paths as students at Douglass College. They reconnected in France in 1964, just a year after graduation, and embarked on a remarkable journey of collaboration. From crafting an American cookbook in French to translating the landmark feminist text The Second Sex, their work spans decades and disciplines. “Whether it’s food or writing or translating, it’s all a question of using language and sharing and opening up to another culture,” says Malovany-Chevallier.
