Enfranchisement of Women

By Harriet Hardy Taylor Mill and John Stuart Mill

Book Overview

""Enfranchisement of Women: An Essay"" is a seminal work written by Harriet Hardy Taylor Mill in 1868, advocating for the extension of voting rights to women. The book is a passionate and persuasive argument for the equal rights of women in the political arena, and Mill draws on a range of historical, legal, and philosophical sources to make her case. She argues that women are just as capable and deserving of political representation as men, and that denying them the right to vote is a form of discrimination and oppression. Mill also addresses common objections to women's suffrage, such as concerns about women's supposed lack of interest or knowledge in politics, and argues that these are baseless and sexist assumptions. The book is a powerful call to action for women's rights, and remains a landmark work in the history of feminism and political philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
