Out el Kouloub

Out El Kouloub (1899–1968) also known as Qut-al-Qulub or Qut al Qulub al Demerdashiyya, was a female Arab writer. Much confusion arises over her three names as she has been a prominent writer in many languages including Arabic and French. She grew up in Cairo, but eventually fled when the Nasser regime came to power. Her most famous work is ''Ramza'', and while it is considered fiction, many scholars view portions of it through an autobiographical lens. Because of her extensive travels to Europe, (France in particular), Kouloub was very well received abroad. Her work was demanded by many cultures. All of her books were written in French and some have been translated into English, German, Arabic, Dutch, and Indonesian. Provided by Wikipedia
