What reading level is Liberty, Equality, Fraternity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . In consonance with this doctrine it is felt to be an overstepping of the proper bounds of authority to fix beforehand on some general presumption that certain persons are not fit to do certain things. It is 206 LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY now thoroughly known and admitted that if some such pre- sumptions exist no such presumption is infallible. . . . Hence we ought not ... to ordain that to be born a girl instead of a boy shall decide the person's position all through life.
The result is ...that * the social subordination of women thus stands out as an isolated fact in modern social institutions.' It is in * radical opposition' to * the progressive movement, which is the boast of the modern world.' This fact creates a ^ prima facie presumption ' against it, * far outweighing any. which custom and usage could in such circumstances create ' in its favour.
I will not follow Mr. Mill through the whole of his argument, much of which consists of matter not relevant to my present purpose, and not agreeable to discuss, though many of his assertions provoke reply.
