Hafsa Zinaï-Koudil

Hafsa Zinaï Koudil was born on 13 September 1951 in Aïn Beïda, in eastern Algeria, studied there and later settled in Algiers. Married and the mother of four children, she first published four novels in Algeria, written in the gaps of family life. In the early nineties, she worked at Algerian Radio and Television, which she left after the dispute arising from her first film. Death threats and an attempted abduction drove her into exile in Tunisia, where her family followed her; she received a human rights prize and now lives in Paris.
