[3] Andrea Phillips has written on her work: "Katharine Meynell's work bridges a divide between the overt and politicised psychoanalytic tendencies of 1980s and early 90s post-feminist image-making and an altogether more disenfranchised landscape - that perhaps of today - in which no such recourse to history and theory seems tenable and questions of art's criticality are paramount". [4]

Alice Christiana Gertrude Meynell was a British writer, editor, critic, and suffragist, now remembered mainly as a poet.

Ithell Colquhoun was a British painter, occultist, poet and author. Stylistically her artwork was affiliated with Surrealism. In the early 1930s she met André Breton in Paris, and later started working with Surrealist automatism techniques in her writing and painting. In the late 1930s, Colquhoun was part of the British Surrealist Group before being expelled because she refused to renounce her association with occult groups, including the Ordo Templi Orientis and the Fellowship of Isis. Despite her break with the movement, Colquhoun was a lifelong adherent to Surrealism and its automatic techniques. Although initially acclaimed, art historians have noted that Colquhoun's reputation suffered during and after World War II when British surrealists such as E. L. T. Mesens pamphleted against her former husband, Toni del Renzio.
