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.
