Marriage To Mill
After John Taylor died in 1849, Taylor and Mill waited two years before marrying in 1851. Taylor was hesitant to create greater scandal than the pair already had. Her radical views on marriage and equality delayed her from wishing to enter a marriage. She did, however, marry Mill, and wrote a number of essays, including "The Enfranchisement of Women", published in 1851. Many of her arguments in this piece would be developed in J. S. Mill's The Subjection of Women, published eleven years after her death.
