description: "Catherine-Elise Müller, known professionally as Hélène Smith, was a famous late-19th-century French medium. She was known as \"the Muse of Automatic Writing\" by the Surrealists, who viewed Smith as evidence of the power of the surreal, and a symbol of surrealist knowledge. Late in life, Smith claimed to communicate with Martians, and to be a reincarnation of a Hindu princess and Marie Antoinette."
