Leïla Aouchal

Leïla Aouchal (born 1936) is a French-Algerian writer.

She was born to a middle-class French family in Caen, France in 1936, and married an Algerian immigrant at the age of 19, moving with him to Algeria.[1] Upon the country's 1962 achievement of independence, Aouchal became an Algerian citizen.[1]

In 1970, Aouchal published Une Autre Vie, an autobiographical account of her experience of integrating into Algerian society amidst a civil war.[1][2]
