Date discrepancy[edit]

"Taylor also took part in the agitation for women to be allowed to take part in local government and after the passing of the 1870 Education Act served as a member of the London School Board."

If she died in 1858, then this sentence is in error. Ryanluck (talk) 11:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted that sentence and the one before it about the London School Board. It was her daughter (by her first husband) Helen who did those things, not Harriet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.82.240.159 (talk) 19:27, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Minor Edits, Major Difference[edit]

I have made a few edits to this page, some minor, but important. Harriet Taylor Mill is notable enough to have her own Wikipedia page, yet she is discussed in terms of the men in her life, most notably John Stuart Mill. Though he played an important role in her life, she still made contributions of her own. In order to do her justice and ensure the accuracy of her page, it is important to give her credit where credit is due and speak of her life as her own, not accomplishments due to others. Evidence shows that John Stuart Mill was given full credit for works she was a part of, so in order to correctly report history, it is vital that she is accurately accredited. Additionally, minor facts such as when she was born and who her family is, are important details to add to make the account her life more accurate and holistic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nelson1013 (talk • contribs) 16:50, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note to anyone watching this article[edit]

I'm attempting a full-scale rewrite of the article in my sandbox. I made a start with some initial edits and some structural changes, but I am now reading and compiling notes before I make further changes. Anyone who is interested is welcome to contribute, but please don't feel that you have to. I'm hoping to move my draft to the mainspace in late July or August.
