Review
Spanning twenty years, the essays in this volume are presented as moments in an ongoing dialogue. One essay makes a compelling case for a particular line of interpretation and then the next stands this reading on its head. The result is a rich dialogue and debate, a compelling and highly readable book, sure to be of interest to scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates alike. — Jean Keller, College of St. Benedict
I believe this to be the best volume published so far to assist a reading of Mill”s The Subjection of Women. Altogether, it is a useful contribution to the literature on Mill and a helpful guide to readers of his work. — Henry R. West, professor of philosophy at Macalester College and author of An Introduction to Mill”s Utilitarian Ethics
