Abstract
This article maintains that the principles of J.S. Mill on liberal feminism are still relevant and have not yet been fully implemented. Mill's concern was for sexual equality in all its forms. He perceived that feminine character was the outcome of an artificial system of cultivation via education, and that cultural conditioning produces sexual temperament appropriate to a culturally customary role. This is still a vital contribution to current debate. The body of the article develops a Millian account of equality of opportunity and discrimination, and a critique of current practical measures in the field of sexual equality.
