Brigid Antonia Brophy, Lady Levey (born June 12, 1929, in London, England; died August 7, 1995, in Louth, Lincolnshire, England) was an English novelist, essayist, critic, biographer, and dramatist. In the Dictionary of Literary Biography: British Novelists since 1960, S. J. Newman described her as "one of the oddest, most brilliant, and most enduring of the 1960s symptoms." She was a feminist and pacifist who expressed controversial opinions on marriage, the Vietnam War, animal rights, religious education in schools, sex (she was openly bisexual [1]), and pornography.
