Annie Besant Annie Besant (1 October 1847 – 20 September 1933) was a prominent British socialist, theosophist, women's rights activist, writer and orator and supporter of Irish and Indian self-rule. In 1867, Annie at age 20, married Frank Besant, a clergyman, and they had two children, but Annie's increasingly anti-religious views led to a legal separation in 1873. She then became a prominent speaker for the National Secular Society (NSS) and writer and a close friend of Charles Bradlaugh. In 1877 they were prosecuted for publishing a book by birth control campaigner Charles Knowlton. The scandal made them famous, and Bradlaugh was elected M.P. for Northampton in 1880. #RuzanKhambatta #Day #specialcelebration #PoliceHEART1091 #PoliceHEART #Entrepreneur #Celebrate #WorldDay #National #NationalDay #InternationalDay #International #UN #US #SpecialDay #India #AnnieBesant
