In his essay, The Subjection of Women, he tries to show that there has been some historical injustice to women to the extent that they are excluded from important functions in society simply out of some irrational bias exhibited by the male counterparts. This paper intends to critically examine Mill's views on the subjection of women in social, political and even economic concerns. His works include On Liberty and other Essays, Utilitarianism, System of Logic, Principles of Political Economy, and Considerations of Representative Government. Mill would later become a key advocate for utilitarianism, an ethical and political theory that views moral goodness as dependent on greatest happiness for the greatest number of people concerned and stresses the importance of representative government in politics. In his childhood he was an object of an experimental education in the hands of his father James Mill and Jeremy Bentham. John Stuart Mill (1806-73) was a Philosopher, Economist, Political thinker and a dominant figure in English intellectual life in the latter half of the nineteenth century.
