Algerian nationalist, activist and revolutionary Bouhired is considered a freedom fighter, Arab icon and a hero. She is best known for her contributions to the fight against French colonial rule in Algeria as a member of the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN).
She was educated in Algiers at a school that inculcated in its students the belief that they were French. Like virtually all of the young Algerians fortunate enough in the 1940s to find themselves in school, and the great majority were not, she was raised with a French cultural consciousness and never learned to read or write in Arabic, the language that she and her family spoke at home.
