1869 Henry W Beecher's Copy Subjection of Women John Stuart Mill 1st American

Description: First American edition of John Stuart Mill’s theories on the equality of the sexes. The ideas he expounded were the result of his collaboration with his wife, Harriet Taylor Mill who had passed away in 1856. While the idea of women as equals to men was not popular at the time, many of Mill’s ideas were formative in the cause of woman’s suffrage.
