Eter Tataraidze was born in Zemo Alvani, Akhmeta municipality, Georgia. She graduated from Tbilisi State University in 1984 as a philologist. 1985–2006 she worked in the Department of Folklore by the Tbilisi State University. Eter Tataraidze is the author of thirteen books, including six poetic collections. She writes her poems one of Georgian dialects Tushetian (Tušuri, თუშური); because of this phenomenon Eter Tataraidze's poetry works have a special colour, as in the case of Frédéric Mistral, who wrote in a Provençal. "Loyal to her creative principle, Eter Tataraidze writes in the dialect which seems to be the only means of expressing her thoughts, emotions and attitudes. Still, her lyrical language is different from her native Tushuri dialect which abounds in heroic poetry. The poems of the present collection are written in the everyday language which has no analogues in the otherwise rich Tushuri dialect. In this respect it is an untilled soil, a virgin land." In 2007 she was awarded with a State Order of Honor. In addition, Tataraidze is a winner of several prizes. Some of his works have been translated into English and Italian.
