John Stuart Mill's and Harriet Taylor's Writings on Women
The Collected Works of John Stuart Mill, ed. J.M. Robson (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1963-1991), 33 vols. Editorial committee: J.M. Robinson, General Editor, Harold Bohme, J.C. Cairns, J.B. Conacher, D.P. Dryer, Marion Filipiuk, Frances Halpenny, Samuel Hollander, R.F. McRae, Ian Montagnes, Ann P. Robson, F.E. Sparshott.
The University of Toronto edition of the Collected Works of J.S. Mill did not gather all of Mill's writings on women into one volume (as they did with his writings on India). On this page we have done so, with links to the online edition.
