==Early life==

Drif (زهرة ظريف) was born into an upper-class Algerian family. She grew up in Vialar, where her father served as a qadi. She attended an elite secondary school, Lycée Fromentin, in Algiers, and later studied in the Faculty of Law at the [[University of Algiers]] from 1954 to 1955, but later withdrew when the FLN called for a student strike.
