Harriet Taylor Mill

Taylor Mill's essay The Enfranchisement of Women (1851) went further than her husband John Stuart Mill's later The Subjection of Women: she argued that married women should be free to work outside the home and earn their own income, while he assumed most would choose domestic life. Reading the two together shows a live disagreement inside liberal feminism, and raises the long-argued question of how much of "his" work was hers.
