Marguerite-Fadhma Aït Mansour Amrouche (c. 1882 in Tizi Hibel, Algeria – July 9, 1967 in Saint-Brice-en-Coglès, France) was a poet and folksinger.
[1] Facing harsh discrimination from within her surroundings, she left her village to study at a secular school.
The folk songs she sang to her family were compiled and translated to French by Jean in 1939 as Chants berbères de Kabylie.
In 1967, Taos made a music album in Kabyle bearing the same title as Jean's folk song collection.
This book discusses mainly about the life she lived as a woman living in two different worlds: between the traditional Kabyle life and language and the colonial power France, its language, and particularly its predominant religion, Christianity.
