Mill's View of Women

In one of the discussions that we had on class during these last meetings, we talked about women and their role in European Society of the 19th Century. We also discussed about how capitalism had negative effects on women and their rights. Then, I thought about Mill and what would he have thought about this issue. After doing some research I found that he was an advocate for the equality on women. He had also deal with this subject in one of his works written in 1869 that was called "The Subject of Women"
The following text is an excerpt from his work and it clearly shows how Mill believed in the equality between men and women.
"The object of this Essay is to explain as clearly as I am able grounds of an opinion which I have held from the very earliest period when I had formed any opinions at all on social political matters, and which, instead of being weakened or modified, has been constantly growing stronger by the progress reflection and the experience of life. That the principle which regulates the existing social relations between the two sees--the legal subordination of one sex to the other-- is wrong itself, and now one of the chief hindrances to human improvement; and that it ought to be replaced by a principle of perfect equality, admitting no power or privilege on the one side, nor disability on the other."
