Anaïs Nin (February 21 1903 - January 14 1977) was a French-born author who became famous for her posthumously published personal journals, which span more than 60 years, beginning when she was 11 years old and ending shortly before her death. Nin is also famous for her erotica such as Delta of Venus and Little Birds, which explores male and female sexuality from a female perspective.

Her first husband was Hugh Parker Guiler, a banker and artist, whom she married as a young woman in March 1923. Rupert Pole, whom she married in 1955 while still married to Guiler, was a forester and the step-grandson of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. After the death of Hugh Guiler in 1985, the unexpurgated versions of her journals were commissioned by Pole.

Her affair with Henry Miller was the subject of the film Henry & June.
