Author Annie Besant believed in woman's rights and Indian independence, and that progressive mindsight helped her to relate Madame Blavatsky's massive and complex tome to a more general audience. Presenting the basic tenets of Theosophical thought in an easy-to-understand manner, Besant nonetheless covers the full spectrum of Theosophical understandings.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
