Book Description

In 1891, newspapers all over the world carried reports of the death of H. P. Blavatsky, the mysterious Russian woman who was the spiritual founder of the Theosophical Society. With the help of the equally mysterious Mahatmas who were her teachers, Blavatsky claimed to have brought the "ancient wisdom of the East" to the rescue of a materialistic West. In England, Blavatsky's earliest followers were mostly men, but a generation later the Theosophical Society was dominated by women, and theosophy had become a crucial part of feminist political culture.

Divine Feminine is the first full-length study of the relationship between alternative or esoteric spirituality and the feminist movement in England. Historian Joy Dixon examines the Theosophical Society's claims that women and the East were the repositories of spiritual forces which English men had forfeited in their scramble for material and imperial power. Theosophists produced arguments that became key tools in many feminist campaigns. Many women of the Theosophical Society became suffragists to promote the spiritualizing of politics, attempting to create a political role for women as a way to "sacralize the public sphere." Dixon also shows that theosophy provides much of the framework and the vocabulary for today's New Age movement. Many of the assumptions about class, race, and gender which marked the emergence of esoteric religions at the end of the nineteenth century continue to shape alternative spiritualities today.

Inspiring book!
I heard about this book from a friend of mine while attending class in UBC. I'm very impressed with Dr. Dixon's arguments and opinions. I must say, I never thought a book on theosophy and feminism in England could be so intriguing. This book is a stunner, I highly recommend it. Hopefully I will be able to study under Dr. Dixon one day. ... Read more

Book Description
1919. A comparison of theosophy with Christianity. This work is written with the authority of experience about Theosophy, as the author felt the attraction to Theosophy so deeply that she passed into the 'inner school.' The attention that initially drew her into it did not keep her there. She found herself disappointed and disillusioned. Therefore she penned this book which is a study of Theosophy in contrast, point by point, with the Catholic faith. It is no abstract study, but is grounded in an experience of Theosophy from within. ... Read more
