Annie Besant

Annie Besant was a prominent Theosophist, women's rights activist, writer and orator and supporter of Irish and Indian self rule.

Her role in India's path to independence is recognised widely, as is her promotion of Hindu spirituality in the West. Today many Indian cities have streets that bear her name.
