Mill is considered to be one of the most influential liberal thinkers in history and he was a significant contributor to many fields such as social theory, political theory, and political economy. Mill is also notable for being the first Member of Parliament to argue in favor of women's suffrage.

The Subjection of Women, published in 1869, is one of Mill's most famous works. Mill argued in favor of equality between men and women at a time when that went against the conventional norms of European culture. This edition includes a table of contents.
