TABOO

IRENE FRAIN

France



After teaching in high schools and lecturing at Sorbonne University, Irène Frain chose to devote herself entirely to writing novels and biographies. Her experience as a journalist for major weekly newspapers gave her a taste for investigative journalism and reinforced her taste for long-distance travel. She has distinguished herself with her passion for issues concerning the status of women and has won many literary prizes including the Prix Interallié in 2020.

 
Après un parcours de professeur en lycée et à l’Université de la Sorbonne, Irène Frain a choisi de se consacrer entièrement à l’écriture, romans et biographies. La pratique du journalisme dans de grands hebdomadaires français lui a donné le goût de l’enquête et renforcé son goût des voyages lointains. Elle s’est signalée pour sa passion des enjeux de la condition féminine et a remporté de nombreux prix littéraires, dont le Prix Interallié en 2020.
