Birth of Harriet Taylor Mill

Harriet was born in 1807 in Walworth, south London, to parents Harriet and Thomas Hardy who was a surgeon. Harriet was educated at home and at an early age expressed a strong interest in writing and in poetry. She wrote a lot and wrote for the journal Monthly Repositoy and "Enfranchisemnt of Women". Many of her writing, however, were never in her name; she was not given all the credit she deserved because she was a women.
