The Complete Works of Harriet Taylor Mill
For 170 years, Harriet Taylor Mill has been presented as a footnote in John Stuart Mill's life. This volume gives her a separate voice. Readers may assess for themselves the importance and influence of her ideas on "women's" issues such as marriage and divorce, education, domestic violence, and suffrage. And they will note the overlap of her ideas on ethics, religion, arts, and socialism, written in the 1830s, with her more famous husband's works, published 25 years later.

Harriet Taylor Mill’s ideas on marriage, the education of women, domestic violence against women, and the suffrage movement (the first wave of feminism) are showcased in this volume.
She is best known as John Stuart Mill’s wife, in dialogue with whom John Stuart Mill wrote On the Subjection of Women, but this volume allows readers to assess just how much more radical Harriet Taylor Mill’s thinking was from that expressed in On the Subjection of Women, as well as the breadth of issues with which she was involved.
In addition to the above mentioned issues in women’s liberation, Harriet Taylor Mill gives voice to her (then radical) views on the arts, ethics and religion, and on Marxist socialism. This is an important text in the history of feminist struggle and will be of interest to feminist, activist, and those interested in the history of social justice movements.
