Working name of Edith Richardson (1867-1935), UK illustrator and author who also published as Emmeline Richardson and as Eva Richardson. Neutopia (1925), a tale Equipoisal between the Scientific Romance and the formal Utopia, depicts a Lost World come upon by male explorers, even though it is protected by a desert (whose location is not given). Here a socialist Utopia has been founded by women (see Women in SF) who, after a terrible war, have evolved a kind of empathy-derived Telepathy, and devote themselves to Eugenics. [JC]
