Book Description
"Babu Mohini M. Chatterji has rendered a valuable service in compiling, from the first five volumes of the Theosophist, this portly book of 557 pp. 8Vo, with a Glossary of Oriental terms, for the convenience of Western readers. The work has been done with judgment, and the selections cover a wide portion of the field of research with which our Society concerns itself."-Review, Theosophist, November, 1885 "This invaluable work contains many of the most important articles that have appeared during the last five years in the Theosophist. It is a perfect mine of wealth to the student of Occultism, and puts before him an immense body of esoteric teaching which is not contained in any other available volume."-Book Notice, Theosophist, November, 1885 Five Years of Theosophy has become a classic of theosophical literature since its initial publication in 1885. It contains articles from some of the deepest students of the early Theosophical Society, including H. P. Blavatsky, Mohini Chatterji, Damodar K. Mavalankar, T. Subba Row and others; and it covers several key subjects in ways and at depths that one will have difficulty finding elsewhere. It is thus an invaluable addition to the collection of any serious student of theosophy.

Book Description
Honorable Mention for the Wallace K. Ferguson Prize from the Canadian Historical AssociationChosen by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title of 2003 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.
