The daughter of Alberto Futoransky and Sonia Saskin de Milstein, she was born in Buenos Aires. Futoransky studied music with Cátulo Castillo and worked in the National Library under Jorge Luis Borges before leaving Argentina in 1971 to participate in the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa. She has lived in Italy, Spain, Japan, where she taught opera at the National Academy of Music, and China; since 1981, she has lived in France. Her family moved to Israel at the end of 1975.

Her first book of poetry Trago fuerte (Strong drink) was published in 1963. It was followed by El corazón de los lugares (The Heart of Places) in 1964, Babel Babel in 1968 and Lo regado por lo seco (The watered for the dry) in 1972.

Futoransky was named a Chevalier in the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1990 and, in 1991, was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. Her writing has been translated into English, French, Hebrew, Portuguese, Japanese and German. Her works have appeared in the journals Hispamérica, World Fiction, El Universal and Taifa and selected works appeared in the anthologies The House of Memory: Stories by Jewish Women Writers of Latin America and Miriam’s Daughters: Jewish Latin American Women Poets.
