changing culture. In literature there have been
many analyses done on these changes. Two of the
most influential of their time were perhaps John

Darwin's The Descent of Man. In examining these
two works it is interesting to note the parallel
discussions of evolution in society. Mills The
Subjection of Women looks at the struggles of
society in adapting to...
