J. S. Mill on What We Don't Know About Women

G. W. Smith

Utilitas, 2000, vol. 12, issue 1, 41-61

Abstract: Mill's feminism has been attacked as being logically incoherent. The general verdict has been that Mill can easily be defended from the charge. However, both sides in the debate have ignored the fact that his feminism is part of a broader theory of liberal empiricism. Placing The Subjection of Women in this context re–opens the question of its logical credentials and reveals a basic weakness in Millian feminism.
