Salma al-Haffar Kuzbari (May 1, 1923 – August 11, 2006; Arabic: سلمى الحفار الكزبري) was a Syrian writer and translator.
She is best known for her literary criticism and biography on the women's rights activist and writer May Ziadeh, as well as for her writing on Spain's Andalusia region, notably the book The Two Eyes of Seville.
[1][3][4][5] She then studied political science by correspondence with a Jesuit university in Beirut, but she did not complete a degree.
[5] From her early literary career, Kuzbari's writing addressed the inner lives of women, a rare subject for Syrian literature at the time.
[1][3] This activity extended to charitable work, with Kuzbari co-founding in 1945 the children's charity Mabarat al Taleem wa al-Muwasaat (the Mabarra Association for Education and Consolation), which cared for young orphans.
The couple had two daughters together and spent many years living in various countries across Latin America and Europe, where he served as ambassador to Argentina, Chile, and Spain.
