创作于1901年]]
埃塞尔·玛丽·史密斯女爵士，DBE（，），女，英国作曲家和争取女性參政權运动的成员之一。史密斯出生于伦敦，是家里八个孩子中的老四。 她的父亲J. H. Smyth是皇家炮兵的一名少将，非常反对她的音乐事业。
但史密斯没有受到父亲影响，成为了一位优秀的作曲家。她师从一位私人家教，后来进入萊比錫孟德爾頌音樂戲劇學院学习，在那里她遇到了许多作曲家。她的作品包括歌曲，钢琴作品，室内乐，管弦乐，协奏曲作品，合唱作品和歌剧。
她住在Frimhurst很多年。但是从1913年起，她开始逐渐丧失听力，完成四个主要作品就完全耳聋，作曲生涯也结束了。她曾与已婚的艾米琳·潘克斯特有过恋情。在她71岁时喜欢上了作家弗吉尼亚·吴尔夫，吴尔夫既惊慌又好笑，后来她们成为了朋友。
