"We deny the right of any portion of the species to decide for another
what is and what is not their "proper sphere." The proper sphere
for all human beings is the largest and highest which they are able to
attain to."

Harriet Hardy Taylor Mill (1807-1858) is known as the wife, muse, and possible writing collaborator of the Utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill. Scholars have argued more recently that she ought to be viewed as a philosopher in her own right. Her strong feminist views on women's rights, education, marriage and divorce are important to consider as the search for history's unrecognized female philosophers gains momentum.
