Edith Jemima Simcox was a British writer and social reformer who, in the late 19th century, was interested in the history of property and the evolution of social and economic systems. In this book, she examines the concept of ownership in prehistoric and ancient societies, including those of the Romans, Greeks, and Vikings. Simcox argues that, in early human societies, ownership was not an individual matter but rather a communal one, and that the modern Western concept of private property has evolved over time through complex historical and cultural factors.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

Edith Simcox (1844-1901) was a prominent British feminist, social critic and prolific writer. She published many articles and essays advocating support for women's right to education, improved working conditions and suffrage. Her scholarly works in philosophy and economic history sought to demonstrate that contemporary capitalism was not the only route to a prosperous society. Her articles appeared in many periodicals and among her books are Natural Law (1877) and the two-volume Primitive Civilizations (1894), both also reissued in this series. Simcox was an admirer and friend of the novelist George Eliot (1819-80), and her second book, published in 1882, is a collection of essays on a range of subjects, some of which were inspired by events in Eliot's life. Simcox uses her writings to explore melancholy, love, loss and longing through stories and sketches.
