Mill’s On Liberty (1859) denies people the right to sell themselves into slavery. Yet
such, says Mill, is the condition of half the population, denied the most elementary
legal and political rights. The Subjection of Women is a cry of protest against the injustices of existing British institutions and a plea for political, legal, and educational reforms. This volume contains a sample of the resulting literature. Of particular interest is the fact that, among the critics and reviewers who responded to The Subjection of Women, one may find a number of the most eminent of the women intellectuals of the period.
