Michèle Fitous­si

Michèle Fitous­si was born in Tunisia to French par­ents, and has lived in Paris since the age of five. She worked as a jour­nal­ist at Elle mag­a­zine for years, inter­view­ing world lead­ers in areas as var­ied as pol­i­tics, human sci­ences, sports, lit­er­a­ture and the media. She is the author of screen­plays, fic­tion and non-fic­tion, includ­ing the inter­na­tion­al best­sellers Superwoman’s had Enough and The Pris­on­er. She also co-wrote Stolen Lives with Mali­ka Oufkir, which sold more than a mil­lion copies through­out the world and remained on the New York Times best-sell­er list for 25 weeks after being stamped as an ​“Oprah Book” by Oprah Win­frey. Her newest book, Hele­na Rubin­stein: The Woman Who Invent­ed Beau­ty, is now avail­able. Her forth­com­ing book about the 2008 ter­ror­ist attacks in Mum­bai will be pub­lished in France this September.
