<biography, history of philosophy> English philosopher (1807-1858). In The Enfranchisement of Women (1851) Taylor argued that the confinement of women to domestic pursuits was harmful to all human beings. She wrote eloquently on behalf of voting rights for women, equal opportunities in education and employment, and the abolition of restrictive laws governing marriage and divorce. Through her long and intimate association with John Stuart Mill, Taylor significantly contributed to the application of utilitarian principles to social and political issues.
