On Liberty And The Subjection Of Women by John Stuart Mill
A vigorous defense of individual freedom and the limits of state and social authority, arguing that adults should be free to pursue their own good as long as they do not harm others; it champions free expression and experimentation in thought and lifestyle as essential to social and moral progress, and applies these principles to a sustained critique of the legal and social subordination of women, calling for equal rights, education, and marriage reform on utilitarian and rational grounds while insisting that gender inequality is rooted in prejudice and tradition rather than innate difference.
