(John Stuart) The Subjection of Women Produced by Michael Roe and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "The Subjection of Women" by John Stuart Mill is a philosophical treatise written in the mid-19th century. The work articulates Mill's argument for gender equality, asserting that the legal subordination of women to men is inherently unjust and a major barrier to societal progress. Mill explores the historical and social contexts underpinning this inequality, aiming to lay the groundwork for a more equitable future. The opening of the essay establishes Mill's intention to explore the deeply rooted arguments supporting the subjugation of women and to counter them with reasoned critique. He highlights the difficulty of challenging deeply held societal beliefs, indicating that these beliefs are often maintained through emotional rather than rational means. Mill argues that the existing social order, which places women in subordinate roles, is based on custom rather than justice or reason, and he emphasizes the need for a fundamental change towards gender equality. He lays out the philosophical underpinnings of his argument, highlighting how such inequality not only harms women but also hinders the advancement of society as a whole.
