"Annie Besant (1847-1933), President of the Theosophical Society from 1907 to 1933, was described as a 'Diamond Soul', for she had many brilliant facets to her character. As a spiritual teacher she inspired thousands of men and women all over the world. She was an outstanding orator, a reformer, a humanist, and an educationist with more than three hundred publications to her credit." (jacket)
