The Subjection of Women by John Stuart Mill

2.0

A classic example of the 'fair for its day trope'. John Stuart Mill makes some excellent points but falls down in other places. Particular points that rubbed me the wrong way were things like women ought not to work if they are married, women being better rulers due to their 'more rapid insight into character', and women's 'intuition'. The real shame is that today so many are making similar arguments as John Stuart Mill but because they never read him they think they are being original.
