Alice Parizeau was born on July 25, 1930 in Luniniec, Poland (now Belarus). She was the daughter of Stanislaus Poznanski, an industrialist, and Bronislawa Poznanska, a concert pianist.
Parizeau was educated in Paris at the University of Paris (Sorbonne), she received baccalaureat es lettres in 1948, and certificate in political science and law degree in 1953.
Parizeau held a number of working positions. After her relocation to Canada, she was a civil servant with the City of Montreal, researcher for Société Radio-Canada and, most notably, criminology researcher, lecturer and secretary-general of the Centre international de criminologie comparée at the Université de Montréal, where she served from 1972 till 1979 as the de facto assistant director to Denis Szabo, founder of modern criminology in Quebec. She was a delegate at Salon du Livre in 1983.
During the 1960s Parizeau wrote three novels that found inspiration in her own life. In Fuir (1963), a woman returns to Paris, where she had been a student ten years earlier. Survivre (1964) traces maneuvers of the underground in Poland during World War II, and the protagonist Yves—like Parizeau herself, who was held at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp—ends up a German prisoner. In the third work, Rue Sherbrooke ouest (1967), Yves moves to Canada. Also during this Period, Parizeau completed the travel accounts Voyage en Pologne (1962) and Une Québécoise en Europe "rouge" (1965).
In addition, she was a contributor to periodicals, including Chatelaine, Ecrits du Canada Français, La Presse, Le Devoir, Revue de Droit Penal et de Criminologie, and Vie des Arts.
