Présentation de l'éditeur :
TiHE object of this Essay is to explain as clearly as I am able the grounds of an opinion which I have held from the very earliest ,period when I had formed any opinions at all on social or political matters, and which; instead of being weakened or modified, has been constantly growing stronger by the progress of reflection and the experience of life. That the princij)le which regulates the existing social relations between the two sexes the legal subordination of one sex to the other is wrong in itself, and now one of the chief hindrances to human improvement; and that lit ought to be replaced by a principle of perfect equality admitting no power or privilege on the one side, nor disability on the other. The very words necessary to express the task I have undertaken, show how arduous it is.

Présentation de l'éditeur :
The Subjection of Women is an essay by English philosopher, political economist and civil servant John Stuart Mill published in 1869,[1] with ideas he developed jointly with his wife Harriet Taylor Mill. Mill submitted the finished manuscript of their collaborative work On Liberty (1859) soon after her untimely death in late 1858, and then continued work on The Subjection of Women until its completion in 1861. At the time of its publication, the essay's argument for equality between the sexes was an affront to European conventional norms regarding the status of men and women. This is a Green Bird Publication of a quality paperback.
