Harriet Taylor Mill died of tuberculosis at Avignon in France at the age of fifty-one. Married to the eminent British political philosopher and writer John Stuart Mill for seven years after the death of her first husband but an intimate and collaborator with him since 1832, she had been a vital influence on his thinking. Mill acknowledged her contributions especially on his On Liberty and The Subjection of Women, which would be largely considered her work. (By John Osborne)
