Together they produced some of the most powerful and influential writings ever penned to promote women's equality, and it was to this family that the Victorian women's movement in England came to look for leadership, guidance, and money. In this volume, Ann Robson and John Robson bring together the writings and speeches from these three seminal thinkers on the subject of sexual equality. Some of these pieces have not been available in published form for more than a century. They cover such topics as love, sex, marriage, children, property, domestic relations, divorce, and suffrage. Sexual Equality is a necessary tool for understanding the development of ideas on women's issues in the Mill household. These ideas influenced thinking on sexual equality far beyond England and far past the Victorian period Analysis 19s Angleterre Couple Discrimination Divorce Droit Egalite Femme Histoire Mariage Mouvement Politique Sexisme Sexuel Sociologie Violence Vote Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Master and use copy.
