Anarixa Miriam Perra Tabnit (1932-1986) was a Tyreseian philosopher, writer, politican, and historian of ideas. She was renowned for her use of feminist critique against the prevailing Tyreseian social order. Many of her other works explored the historical influence of the Coptic Nazarist Church on Tyreseian society, as well as exploring the intersection of industrial socialism and cultural images of masculinity. Her final years were spent examining more historical topics, including studies on gender relations of Tyresene merchant communities in the Ozeros during the Age of Pearls. Tabnit is currently one of the most-read Tyreseian political writers of all time.

Throughout her career, Tabnit was influenced and guided by her one-time doctoral advisor and long-time lover, Latin-born Honoria Sonipula. An accomplished academic philosopher in her own right, Sonipula and Tabnit frequently traded ideas and research, as well as co-authored several works. The two's relationship went through periods of turbulence and stress that often reflected in Tabnit's writing, especially her more personal collections of poetry and prose. Tabnit's at-times open lesbianism and critical views of Tyreseian society in a period of social unrest made her a divisive figure in her time.

Tabnit's works of feminist critique, especially Socialism is Chauvinism, are often cited as engendering inspiration for the formulation of intersectionality in Belisarian and Periclean philosophy. Her body of work resonated far outside academic circles in Tyreseia, becoming some of the flagship expressions of the progressive and critical ideas of the later counterculture movement and the early Young Salon. To this day, Tabnit's corpus of literature and academic work is considered foundational by contemporary academic disciplines of philosophy and history, among others. She is often portrayed in pop culture internationally as an archetypal progressive feminist philosopher.

Early life and education

Tabnit was born in Oñulba in 1932. Her parents worked for FerruTir, the state-subsidized railways conglomerate, and it was expected that she would follow them into a career as a mechanic.

In 1938, a six-year-old Tabnit witnessed firsthand the deadly fire that consumed the SS Steja djal Scipia.
