• 1851منح النساء حق الاقتراع (The Enfranchisement of Women)

  نُشر في «وستمنستر ريفيو»: تحتاج النساء إلى حق الاقتراع والتعليم وكل المهن – لا إلى الحماية.

الموقف

The extent of Taylor Mill’s contribution is disputed: Mill’s “Autobiography” calls her the co-author of “On Liberty” and the source of the social ideas in his “Political Economy”, while some scholars suspect exaggeration. Her own essay “The Enfranchisement of Women”, published anonymously in 1851, is more radical than Mill’s later “Subjection of Women”. It demands for women equal rights in education, the professions and political life; it argues that women’s economic dependence is the root of their subjection and that a wife should contribute to the family income rather than be maintained; and it rejects the idea that women’s proper influence is exercised indirectly through men.

الحياة والسياق

Harriet Taylor Mill (1807–1858), born Harriet Hardy in London, married the pharmacist John Taylor at eighteen. In 1830 she met John Stuart Mill; the two formed a close intellectual friendship, tolerated by her husband, and married in 1851 after Taylor’s death. She published little under her own name, and Mill claimed that much of his work from the 1840s on was written jointly with her. She died in Avignon in 1858.
