The Subjection of Women by John Stuart Mill (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Subjection of Women by John Stuart Mill In this essay Mill assails a system of inequality that supports and encourages the subjection of one individual by another and raises questions about the nature and relation of power and liberty. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Since Old Testament days discrimination against minorities and other groups has been the rule in history rather than the exception. Chief among these repressive attitudes has been the inferior social and political status of women. Mill offers compelling arguments against the disenfranchisement of women, the infringement of their property rights, and the second-class status they experienced within marriage. One of Englands most influential social philosophers, Mill sets the keen sights of his critical, analytic eye on the socio-political justifications for gender supremacy in nineteenth-century Britain and, in doing so, he strikes a powerful blow for womens rights, the reverberations of which are still being felt today. A remarkable work, "The Subjection of Women" uses reason and common-sense to take sexual discrimination to task.
