Blurb: “The Subjection of Women is a times masterpiece that grapples with issues as important today as they were when the essay was first published over a century ago.
John Stuart Mill's images of bondage and slavery describing woman's status in society still ring true and are being echoed by many in the current movement for the liberation of women.
"I became a feminist, as did most of my friends, the hard way-without the knowledge that others had already trod this path, and that they had committed to paper thoughts and analyses similar to those that we were painfully struggling to articulate. To come upon John Stuart Mill after one is already a feminist is a pleasurable discovery not unmixed with exasperation. It would have been helpful to have had the ammunition contained in THE SUBJECTION OF WOMEN when we fired the first rounds. But the essay's powerful language, its remorseless lucidity, its heavy guns of logic, were locked in a forgotten armory. We can charge neglect, and possibly conspiracy, but we must make certain that such books as SUBJECTION will not be lost to us again." —from the Introduction by Susan Brownmiller”
