The Subjection of Women

Résumé du livre

The Subjection of Women is an essay by English philosopher, political economist and civil servant John Stuart Mill published in 1869, with ideas he developed jointly with his wife Harriet Taylor Mill. John Stuart Mill uses his philosophical views to reach conclusions that were long ahead of his time, and in many ways continue to outpace our understanding of gender and society. This work is arguably the best feminist writing ever, and the best commentary on morality and social evolution. John Stuart Mill's The Subjection of Women is perhaps the finest piece of social and political philosophy produced in the modern era and should be read by all interested in social justice, feminism, or ethics.
