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. ~summary by Laura Victoria
