[edit] Biography
Groult, the daughter of André Groult and Nicole Poiret, sister of Paul Poiret and herself a fashion designer, was raised in the Parisian upper class. After her studies in literature ended in 1953, she worked as a journalist for television. Before publishing her own book in 1972, she co-wrote three books with her younger sister Flora.
Because Groult is a feminist, her novels often deal with topics such as the history of feminism, the discrimination of women and misogyny.
Her novel Les vaisseaux du cœur was filmed by Andrew Birkin in 1992.
Groult was married four times. Her first husband, Blaise Landon, whom she married in 1943, died the following year. In 1945, she married medical student Pierre Heuyer, who died soon afterward. In 1951, she married journalist Georges de Caunes with whom she had two daughters, Blandine and Lison. She later she married writer Paul Guimard (1921–2004). The couple had one daughter, Constance.
In April 2010, she became Commander of the Légion d'honneur.[1]
