(P/B) ON THE SUBJECTION OF WOMEN

Παρουσίαση

Convinced that the subordination of women was an irrational and outmoded social custom, John Stuart Mill and his wife Harriet Taylor Mill set about arguing for equality between the sexes. The essay they wrote is a striking and clearsighted denunciation of the status quo, carefully demolishing ancient, lingering prejudices and setting out a new agenda for human progress.
At the time a radical clarion call for change, their passionate and eloquent arguments still have the power to challenge and confront the prevailing patriarchal bias in modern culture. (from the publisher)
