"The Subjection of Women" is an essay written by John Stuart Mill in 1869. In this work, Mill argues for gender equality and the importance of women's rights. He believes that society benefits when women are given the same opportunities as men, particularly in education and employment. Mill challenges the traditional views that women are naturally inferior and emphasizes that their subjugation is a result of social conditioning rather than inherent differences. Mill also discusses the impact of legal and social restrictions on women, advocating for their liberation. He argues that true progress can only be achieved when both genders work together as equals. By promoting women's rights, Mill envisions a more just and prosperous society for everyone.
