Amy Judith Levy:
(10 November 1861 – 9 September 1889).
English essayist, poet, and novelist best remembered for her literary gifts; her experience as the third Jewish woman at Cambridge University, and as the second Jewish student at Newnham College, Cambridge; her feminist positions; her friendships with others living what came later to be called a “New Woman” life, some of whom were lesbians; and her relationships with both women and men in literary and politically activist circles in London during the 1880s.
The London trees are dusty-brown beneath the summer sky. My love, she dwells in London town, nor leaves it in July.
