When Annie Besant (1847 1933) wrote in her 1893 Autobiography that
her life was 'much attacked and slandered' she was only 45 years
old, and many more controversies were yet to come. In this book,
Besant charts her dramatic political and ethical awakenings, up to
the point where she joined the Theosophical movement. She describes
how she was unhappily married to a clergyman, contemplated suicide,
embraced atheism, and legally separated from her husband. She
recounts how she became a prolific writer and public speaker,
joined the National Secular Society, was involved in the highly
controversial publication of a birth control leaflet, and engaged
in activism for workers' rights and home rule for Ireland. She also
reflects on her own ideology and spirituality. Besant did much to
shock and challenge Victorian society, and this book vividly
portrays her struggles and successes.
