She moved to London to be treated, and spent time in Paris, where she worked as a journalist for Arab newspapers.
[1] She wrote Comprendre le Liban with her childhood friend André Gaspard, under the pseudonyms Selim Accaoui and Magida Salman.
She was a feminist, publishing works on a range of controversial issues and producing challenging artistic installations.
