Life

[edit]

She was born to father Alojz Rebula and mother Zora Tavčar, both notable Slovene writers. After finishing high school, with Slovene language as language of instruction in Trieste, she graduated from psychology at Trieste University.

Work

Rebula initially worked as psychologist and is now teaching at the "Anton Martin Slomšek" College in Trieste.

In 2010 Alenka Rebula took part in a TV documentary on her life and work, together with another notable woman author (Alenka Puhar) and her book "The Primal Text of Life" (in Slovene: "Prvotno besedilo življenja". The documentary was aired on National Television and Radio Station RTV Slovenija.[3][4][5]
