Marguerite-Fadhma Aït Mansour Amrouche (c. 1882 in Tizi Hibel, Algeria - July 9, 1967 in Saint-Brice-en-Coglès, France) is the mother of writers Jean Amrouche and Taos Amrouche. She was born in a Kabylie village, the illegitimate daughter of a widow. Facing harsh discrimination from within her surroundings, she left her village to study at a secular school. Later, when she was with the Sisters at Aït Manguellet hospital, she converted to Roman Catholicism. She met another Kabyle Catholic convert, Antoine-Belkacem Amrouche, whom she married in 1898. They had eight children together, but only two of them would remain living by the time of her death. The family first moved to Tunis, where Taos was born, and then France.
