About the subordination of a woman

John Stuart Mill can safely be called one of the first feminists who were not afraid to declare the 19th century to “legal subordination of one gender to another”: in 1869, the book “On the Subordination of the Woman” was published. However, three participated in the creation of this work: Mill Harriet Taylor-Mill, her daughter Helen Taylor and John Stuart himself. Harriet Taylor-Mill, the English feminist, wrote on socio-philosophical topics, it was her ideas that formed the basis of the book “On the Subordination of a Woman”. However, only the name of John Stuart is indicated on the cover. Perhaps they, together with their wife and stepdaughter, considered that they will listen to the thoughts of the philosopher-Frenchman rather than to the arguments of women. After almost 150 years, many ideas of the authors have not lost their relevance, they remain interesting and in demand in the company of the 21st century.
