514 & analysis by Stanton Coit (1906). Published in London and New York at the start of the year, this reprint of Mill’s classic essay of 1869 aimed to make the argument more accessible and bring working women into the analysis. Parts of Mill’s case were, Coit reasoned, obsolete in light of changes to married women’s property laws, but “while the condition of women may not have grown actually worse, and while for propertied women it has greatly improved, our knowledge of the evils endured by women has widened and deepened” (27). Mill overlooked “those wives and daughters of working men who suffer through no fault of the husband or father, but because of economic conditions wholly beyond the control of any but the voters of the country” (27–28). Noting that the woman suffrage movement was attracting working women to its ranks, Coit offered this “cheap reprint” of Mill for their edification.
