Annie Besant: A Woman Who Showed the Way
Abstract
To the younger generation of today Besant might be just a name, but to my generation, and the one before that, she was a tremendous figure. Not only did she play a conspicuous role in India’s fight for freedom, but she was one of those early persons who drew our attention to our own heritage, and made us feel proud of it.
