Annie Besant

    1. říjen 1847 – 20. září 1933

    Annie Besantová byla britská socialistka, teosofka a bojovnice za práva žen. Byla známá svými vášnivými projevy a psaním o široké škále sociálních a politických témat. V rané fázi své kariéry prosazovala sekularismus a svobodu myšlení, ostře kritizovala církevní moc a bojovala za práva dělníků a za práva žen. Její intelektuální cesta ji zavedla k teosofii, kde se stala vlivnou postavou a celosvětovou přednášející. V pozdějším věku se angažovala v indickém hnutí za nezávislost, čímž se její celoživotní snaha o svobodu rozšířila na politickou emancipaci národů.
