Kdo chodil s Herbert George Wells?

Herbert George Wells (21. září 1866 Bromley – 13. srpna 1946 Londýn), obvykle psaný H. G. Wells, byl anglický spisovatel. Společně s francouzským spisovatelem Julesem Vernem je nazýván „otec science fiction“. Do jeho knih se však výrazně promítly také jeho socialistické názory, takže mnohá jeho díla lze považovat za sociálně vědecké utopie. Tento rys jeho tvorby, tj. odklon od beletristické tvorby k tvorbě filosofické a sociální, začal postupně převládat zhruba od roku 1905. Je po něm nazván kráter H. G. Wells na odvrácené straně Měsíce.

Margaret Higgins Sanger (née le 14 septembre 1879 à Corning et morte le 6 septembre 1966 à Tucson) est une militante américaine qui lutta pour la contraception et la liberté d'expression, ce qui l'amena à fonder l'American Birth Control League (ligue pour le contrôle des naissances), qui devient le planning familial américain sous le nom de Planned Parenthood. Initialement reçues avec beaucoup de résistances, ses idées qu'une femme puisse décider de quand et comment elle serait enceinte, gagnèrent peu à peu de l'audience, tant dans le public qu'auprès des tribunaux. Margaret Sanger a été un élément fondateur dans l'accès à la contraception et au contrôle des naissances. Sa défense de l'eugénisme négatif en fait une personnalité controversée.

Dame Cecily Isabel Fairfield (21 December 1892 – 15 March 1983), known as Rebecca West, or Dame Rebecca West, was a British author, journalist, literary critic and travel writer. An author who wrote in many genres, West reviewed books for The Times, the New York Herald Tribune, The Sunday Telegraph and The New Republic, and she was a correspondent for The Bookman.

Her major works include Black Lamb and Grey Falcon (1941), on the history and culture of Yugoslavia; A Train of Powder (1955), her coverage of the Nuremberg trials, published originally in The New Yorker; The Meaning of Treason (first published as a magazine article in 1945 and then expanded to the book in 1947), later The New Meaning of Treason (1964), a study of the trial of American-born fascist William Joyce and others; The Return of the Soldier (1918), a modernist World War I novel; and the "Aubrey trilogy" of autobiographical novels, The Fountain Overflows (1956), This Real Night (published posthumously in 1984), and Cousin Rosamund (1985).

Time called her "indisputably the world's number one woman writer" in 1947. She was made CBE in 1949, and DBE in 1959; in each case, the citation reads: "writer and literary critic". She took the pseudonym "Rebecca West" from the rebellious young heroine in Rosmersholm by Henrik Ibsen. She was a recipient of the Benson Medal in 1966.

Odette Zoé Keun (Pera, Imperio otomano, 10 de septiembre de 1888-Worthing, Reino Unido, 14 de marzo de 1978) fue una aventurera, socialista, periodista y escritora neerlandesa. Viajó mucho por el Cáucaso y Europa.​

Maria (Moura) Ignatievna von Budberg-Bönninghausen (Russian: Мария (Мура) Игнатьевна Закревская-Бенкендорф-Будберг, romanized: Mariya (Mura) Ignatyevna Zakrevskaya-Benkendorff-Budberg; née Zakrevskaya; 6 March 1893 – 1 November 1974), also known as Countess von Benckendorff and Baroness von Budberg, was a Russian translator and suspected double agent of the Soviet Union's Joint State Political Directorate (OGPU) and British intelligence agencies.

According to the British journalist Robin Bruce Lockhart, "she was, perhaps, the Soviet Union's most effective agent-of-influence ever to appear on London's political and intellectual stage".

Elizabeth von Arnim (31 August 1866 – 9 February 1941), born Mary Annette Beauchamp, was an English novelist. Born in Australia, she married a German aristocrat, and her earliest works are set in Germany. Her first marriage made her Countess von Arnim-Schlagenthin and her second Elizabeth Russell, Countess Russell. After her first husband's death, she had a three-year affair with the writer H. G. Wells, then later married Frank Russell, elder brother of the Nobel Prize-winner and philosopher Bertrand Russell. She was a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield. Though known in early life as May, her first book introduced her to readers as Elizabeth, which she eventually became to friends and finally to family.

Arnim published anonymously, or simply as "Elizabeth", or on one occasion as "Alice Cholmondeley", and her work has been catalogued under various combinations of her given names, surnames and titles. Modern bibliography attributes her work to Elizabeth von Arnim, her preferred name when her literary career began.
