Author Information
By her own account, Benote Groult was a late bloomer as an author and feminist. She was in her 40s when she first began writing and in her 50s when she embraced feminism. She immediately proved to be a prolific writer and an ardent activist. She wrote Salt on my Skin when she was 65. Married four times, she died in 2016 aged 96. Mo Teitelbaum, based in London, studied at London University, before abandoning her doctorate to focus on translating, writing, and researching ""lost"" histories. As well as Salt on my Skin, Teitelbaum has translated work by Jean-Luc Godard and Jean Renoir, and written many articles about strong women-including Madame Binh and Simone de Beauvoir-for the Sunday Times. Her book The Stylemakers is an in-depth study of the iconic French designer, Jean Michel Frank, and Eugenia Errazuriz, the Chilean woman who inspired him. She is currently working on the ""lost"" history of Tota, Countess Cuevas de Vera, an Argentine feminist.
