Autobiographical Sketches
by Annie Besant (9781551114484)

Annie Besant was a remarkable nineteenth-century activist and writer. Autobiographical Sketches is the original document of her engagement with religious doubt, her courage in taking up unpopular causes like atheism and birth control, and her dismay at discovering women's legal limitations. Female education, Evangelicalism, a wife's ability to claim her own earnings, freedom of speech and religion, women's legal self-representation, the right to provide birth control information, a mother's prerogatives regarding her children these are just a few of the vital issues that Besant explores as she reviews her life history in this series of sketches.
