Fiammetta Venner is the daughter of Monique Venner, famous French judokate. She is the author of numerous essays on fundamentalism and radical political movements and has taught at the University of Évry-Val d'Essonne and the New York University in Paris. She is the partner of Caroline Fourest, with whom she co-signed many texts.

In 1995, she was a member of Sexe et Race, a magazine founded by Rita Thalmann, of the feminist association Les Maries-Jeannes, and a signatory of the petition Notre corps nous appartient. She is now the publication director of Prochoix and is part of the editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo.

On January 7, 2002, she defended a thesis at the Institute of Political Studies under the direction of Pascal Perrineau entitled: Les mobilisations de l'entre-soi. Defining and perpetuating a community. The case of the French radical right (1981-1999).  She was a regular columnist on Catherine Clément’s show Culture de soi, culture des autres on France Culture.

She is the publication director of the journal ProChoix5 and the site Ikhwan Info, and contributes to the weekly Franc-Tireur, founded by Caroline Fourest and Raphaël Enthoven, in which she signs an investigation that Arrêt sur Images qualifies as plagiarism.

«Simple homonym» of the essayist and far-right activist Dominique Venner, she says she doesn’t know if they are from the same family, but that her surname opened doors in the circles of the far-right leaving the doubt as to their kinship
