'''Rebecca West''' ([[1892]]-[[1983]]), British-Irish [[feminist]], political journalist, novelist, historian, actress and traveller, who ought to need no introduction.

One of her novels, ''Harriet Hume: A London Fantasy'' ([[1929]]) centers around a telepathic protagonist who is able to read her lover's thoughts.

Her definition of [[lunacy]] and [[idiocy]], which appears in the prologue of ''Black Lamb and Grey Falcon'' ([[1941]]), has been used by such feminist writers as [[Joanna Russ]] (in the essay "[[SF and Technology and Mystification]]", [[1978]]), and reads as follows:

* "...the word "idiot" comes from a Greek root meaning private person. Idiocy is the female defect: intent on their private lives, women follow their fate through a darkness deep as that cast by malformed cells in the brain. It is no worse than the male defect, which is lunacy: they are so obsessed by public affairs that they see the world as by moonlight, which shows the outlines of every object but not the details indicative of their nature."
