Syrian writer and writer. She was born in Damascus to an ancient Levantine family, and she is related to the Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani. Her father, Dr. Ahmed Al-Samman, holds a doctorate from the Sorbonne in political economy and was the president of the Syrian University and the Minister of Education in Syria for a while. She was severely affected because her mother dies when she was young. Her father was a lover of science and world literature and fond of Arab heritage at the same time, and all this gave Ghada's literary and humanitarian personality multiple and varied dimensions. Soon, Ghada, with her pen and persona, collided with the Levantine (Damascene) society, which was "very conservative" when she grew up in it. She released her first short story collection, "Your Eyes, My Destiny" in 1962, and was considered one of the feminist writers who appeared in that period, such as Colette Khoury and Laila Baalbaki, but Ghada continued and was able to present a different and distinct literature that brought her out of the narrow framework of women's problems and feminist movements to social horizons. Psychological and humane.
