About this book

Arguments over women's education, earnings and voting rights meet in Charles Kingsley's essay Women and Politics. Printed in 1869 for the London National Society for Women's Suffrage, the piece sets John Knox's rejection of female rule beside John Stuart Mill's case for equality. Kingsley challenges inherited ideas about women's abilities, pointing to mixed classrooms and women's success in scientific study as evidence that familiar assumptions deserve reconsideration.

The discussion then turns to teachers, governesses and unmarried relatives whose wages and care support entire families. Their responsibilities become part of Kingsley's argument for citizenship and the vote, rather than grounds for excluding them from public affairs.
