"During her eighty-five years Annie Besant lived many lives, all of them full...a free-thinker, a radical agitator, a feminist, a crusader for birth control, author - editor - publisher, a convert to Fabian socialism, a teacher of science, a social reformer, a strike leader and a trade unionist. But in 1889 she embarked on an even more rebellious and sensational career. Occultism and Theosophy attracted her indomitable energies, and she eventually became Madame Blavatsky's successor and the international president of the stormy and mystical Theosophical Society".
