This essay first appeared in the Westminster and Foreign Quarterly Review in England, it was widely assumed to be by John Stuart Mill, economist and philosopher. Only later did the essay become known as one written by his wife, Harriet Taylor. The essay reported on news from the New York Tribune about women's rights conventions in the U.S., and in conclusion predicted that "the example of America will be followed on this side of the Atlantic."
