Eleanor Marx: A Life by Rachel Holmes
Eleanor Marx Aveling (16 January 1855 – 31 March 1898), also known as Jenny
Julia Eleanor "Tussy" Marx , was the English-born youngest
daughter of Karl
Marx. She was herself a socialist activist, who sometimes worked as a literary translator. In March 1898, after discovering
that her partner and prominent British Marxist, Edward Aveling, had secretly
married a young actress in June the previous year, she committed suicide by
poison. She was 43.
