J. S. Mill VS. H. G. Wells

In the coming of the 20th century many attitudes began to
change. Views traditionally held started to be questioned. This
is most evident in the literature of the time. Many wrote about
social change in various forms. Mill in his book The Subjection
of Women challenged the long held belief that women were
inferior. He used examples from society to show that other
injustices were righted and so to should the subjection of women.
Wells? book The Time Machine was a warning to people about the
consequences of further social wrongs. Together they lay an
argument for change.
The main topic in The Subjection of Women is obviously the
treatment of women. Despite this Mill also comments on other
aspects of society. He does not solely concentrate on women?s
rights. This allows a comparison to other works about different
subjects. Wells only briefly addresses women in his book, but we
can still compare the two on different ideas.
