Mary Burns (29 September 1821[1] – 7 January 1863)[2][3][4] was a working-class Irish woman, best known as the lifelong partner of Friedrich Engels.[5][6] Burns was born and lived most of her life in Manchester, England.[citation needed]
Not much is written about Burns. The only direct references to her that have survived are a letter from Karl Marx to Engels on learning of her death, saying she was "very good natured" and "witty", and a letter from Marx's daughter, Eleanor, saying she was "very pretty, witty and an altogether charming girl, but in later years drank to excess".[7] No images of Burns are known to exist.[8]
