His philosophical works are world-famous, and his research scope includes political philosophy, political economics, ethics, logic, etc. His book "On Liberty" is a masterpiece of classical liberalism, and the classical liberal school had a huge influence in the 19th century. Mill was one of the post-Benthamite utilitarians. In politics, Mill succeeded his father James Mill to work for the British East India Company. In his later years, he represented the Liberal Party and won the election of the British House of Commons and became a member of the House of Commons. He was the second member of Parliament, after Henry Hunt, to introduce a motion to grant women the right to vote.
