Mona Chollet
Mona Chollet is a Franco-Swiss writer and journalist based in Paris.
She serves as chief editor for Le Monde diplomatique and has written for Charlie Hebdo.
Chollet studied literature in Geneva and journalism in Lille.
Her contract with Charlie Hebdo ended controversially in 2000 after she contested an editorial calling Palestinians "uncivilized."

Chollet's work often addresses feminist issues and social critique.
