dailynous.com/2026/03/19/o... This is good news except that if we start referring to the book as being written by the Mills, the war to persuade students that John Stuart Mill and Charles Mills have different last names will be lost forever.

mill's dedication: this is a jointly authored work a century & a half of male editors: mill exaggerated out of a sentimental fondness for his wife mill's letters: no, really, most of "my" work was partly by her, i really could not be clearer on this
