The Subjection of Women

Arguing for gender equality, this 1869 essay challenges the prevailing societal norms of the time regarding the roles of men and women. Developed with insights from Harriet Taylor Mill, it critiques the subjugation of women and advocates for their rights and freedoms. Mill's work not only reflects his philosophical beliefs but also serves as a significant historical document in the fight for women's rights, positioning itself as a bold statement against the conventions of 19th-century Europe.
