{"product_id":"the-subjection-of-women-9780879753351","title":"The Subjection of Women","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 England's 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 women's 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Stuart Mill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prometheus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.38w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780879753351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJOHN STUART MILL \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in London on May 20, 1806, the son of noted Scottish economist and philosopher James Mill, who held an influential post in the powerful East India Company. Mill's natural talent and physical stamina were put to the test at a very young age when he undertook a highly structured and individual-ized upbringing orchestrated by his father, who believed that the mind was a passive receptacle for human experience. His educa-tion and training were so intense that he was reading Greek at the age of three and doing independent writing at six. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMill's education broadened considerably after 1823 when he entered the East India Company to commence his life's career as his father had done before him. He traveled, became politically involved, and in so doing moved away from the narrower sectar-ian attitudes in which he had been raised. His ideas and imagina-tion were ignited by the views of such diverse personalities as Wordsworth, Saint-Simon, Coleridge, Comte, and de Tocqueville. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring his life, Mill wrote many influential works: \u003ci\u003eSystem of Logic \u003c\/i\u003e(1843); \u003ci\u003ePrinciples of Political Economy \u003c\/i\u003e(1848); On \u003ci\u003eLiberty \u003c\/i\u003e(1859); \u003ci\u003eThe Subjection of Women \u003c\/i\u003e(1861); \u003ci\u003eUtilitarianism \u003c\/i\u003e(1863); \u003ci\u003eExamination of Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy \u003c\/i\u003e(1865); and \u003ci\u003eAutobiography \u003c\/i\u003e(1873). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a defender of individual freedom and human rights, John Stuart Mill lives on as a nineteenth-century champion of social reform.
