Edith Jemima Simcox (21 August 1844 – 15 September 1901) was a British philosopher, writer, trade union activist, and feminist.
For example, she wrote on Schopenhauer (Contemporary Review, 1872), on Johann Georg Hamann, Heinrich Heine (The Academy, 1872 and 1869).
The book gave an account of government, morality, religion, and the ideal form of social, political and economic organisation.
In Mind (journal), for example, it was described as a "thoughtful and able work [which] is in many respects the most important contribution yet made to the Ethics of the Evolution-Theory".
[5] In 1872, when she was preparing a book review of Middlemarch, Edith Simcox met and fell in love with the female novelist known by her pseudonym, George Eliot.
