Biography[edit]

Ataei dedicated most of her focus to writing about immigration. Beside publishing books, she has been working with several magazines such as Hamshahri, Tajrobeh, Saan, and Nadastan.[3][4] Her short stories have also been translated and published in several English and French magazines, among them Michigan Quarterly Review[5] and Guernica.[6]
