(4.7 stars; 38 reviews)

In her autobiography, Annie Besant poignantly writes of her search for the truth of what she believed in, leaving Christianity behind to embrace Atheism, and ultimately finding her peace in Theosophy, which she became interested in after meeting Helena Blavatsky. She moved to India to better study Theosophical ideas and this is where she made her home until her death. She was a gifted orator and writer, often speaking and writing on her religious beliefs, as well as women's rights and social reform. Along with Charles Bradlaugh, she published a paper in support of birth control. It proved to be so controversial for the times that it led to a court trial.

Annie Besant was a remarkable woman, suffering much for her beliefs but steadfastly continuing on in her pursuit in spite of it. [summary by Laura Victoria] (9 hr 19 min)

thank you so much. beautifully read !

matriarchy!


(5 stars)

so brilliant in her prose and a master of storytelling, a most humble account of her own life. She puts the reader in the seat of her power and evokes the fierce comparison of philanthropy, feminism and transcendental science. so we'll read and educated that every reader is to be well informed many times over.

Beautifully read

the events concur with today


(5 stars)

people laid off because of corona and the ultimate goal of 1 hour or less a week of labor, im sure the movement continues in its stride and soon these scenes and attitudes will surface again as a mirror

Terribly missogynistic


(4.5 stars)

Completely ignored plight on nonbinary BIPOC transsexual witches. You are not a real feminist unless you are a transsexual feminist. Since Bessant failed to discuss transexual rights, she is literally Aldolf Hitler. Shun her
