On Liberty
John Stuart Mill was a prolific and well-regarded author and philosopher in his day, but perhaps his most enduring work is On Liberty, an essay developed over several years and with significant input from his wife. In it, he applies his views on the Utilitarian ethical theory to systems of society and governance. The result became one of the most influential essays on liberal political thought in modern history.In On Liberty Mill addresses such familiar concepts as freedom of speech, the importance of individuality, and the limits of society's influence on the individual. He caps the discussion with an application of these principles to problems of the day, including education and the economy.

The Subjection of Women
Known primarily for his work in political philosophy, ethics, and economics, John Stuart Mill is perhaps less well known as an early feminist thinker.Published in 1869, The Subjection of Women was ahead of its time. Motivated by the conviction that the subordination of women was "one of the chief obstacles to human improvement," Mill argued not merely for women's suffrage, but for "a principle of perfect equality"-the complete social, political, and legal equality of the sexes.Mill credited his late wife, Harriet Taylor Mill, with many of the important ideas put forth in the book.
