Leila Slimani is the first Moroccan woman to win Franceâs most prestigious literary prize, the Goncourt, which she won for The Perfect Nanny. Her first novel, Adèle, about a sex-addicted woman in Paris, won the La Mamounia Prize for the best book by a Moroccan author written in French and gave rise to her nonfiction book Sex and Lies: True Stories of Women's Intimate Lives in the Arab World. A journalist and frequent commentator on womenâs and human rights, Slimani is French president Emmanuel Macronâs personal representative for the promotion of the French language and culture and was ranked #2 on Vanity Fair Franceâs annual list of the Fifty Most Influential French People in the World. Born in Rabat, Morocco, in 1981, she now lives in Paris with her French husband and their two young children.
