Harriet Taylor Mill (1807 – 1858), married J. S. Mill in 1851 after a twenty one year friendship (during most of which Harriet was married to John Taylor). Although Harriet and her husband Mill shared an enthusiasm for women's liberation they differed in details. Harriet held more radical views than J. S. Mill, believing that women should be educated and encouraged to enter public life and to pursue careers, while J.S. Mill believed that the removal of legal and educational barriers to women's independence would accomplish equality between the sexes, by granting women independence within marriages.
