Likewise, John Stuart Mill notes in his autobiography that much of what he wrote was coauthored with his wife, Harriet Taylor Mill, but she is still not listed as a coauthor to this day. The edition of ‘On Liberty’ I have claims that “scholarly consensus is that Mill exagerrated the role of his wife,” even though his dedication once again claims her as part author of the work!
