Bennouna is regarded as a politically inclined writer. Her books frequently deal with the Palestinian subject both from a political and humanitarian point of view. Bennouna worked as a principal of Wullada high-school at Casablanca.[1]
Khnata Bennouna is the first Moroccan woman to write, at a time when only men were taking over this activity. She is one of the first Moroccan women to challenge traditions and customs after refusing to marry at a very young age and after rebelling against her father’s wishes.[2]
She was also the first woman to write a novel. This was in 1969 and the preface is none other than the leader of the national movement Allal El Fassi.[2]
