"The Subjection of Women" is a seminal work by philosopher John Stuart Mill and his wife, Harriet Taylor Mill. Published in 1869, the book advocates for gender equality and women's rights, challenging prevailing social norms and legal structures that subjugated women. The authors argue for the liberation of women from the patriarchal constraints of marriage, legal incapacities, and societal expectations. They articulate a compelling case for women's education, economic independence, and the right to participate in political processes. The work reflects Enlightenment ideals and underscores the importance of individual autonomy regardless of gender. "The Subjection of Women" remains a cornerstone in the feminist literary canon, contributing significantly to the discourse on gender equality and laying the groundwork for subsequent waves of feminism.
