Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Anna Kingsford, née Bonus (16 September 1846 in Maryland Point, Stratford, Essex 22 February 1888 in London), was one of the first English women, after Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, to obtain a degree in medicine. Kingsford became known as an anti- vivisection campaigner, and an advocate of women''s rights and vegetarianism. She pursued her degree in Paris, graduating in 1880 after six years of study, in order to continue her advocacy from a position of authority. She was the only student at the time to graduate in medicine without having experimented on a single animal. Her final thesis was on the benefits of vegetarianism, which she later turned into a book, L''Alimentation Végétale de l''Homme, translated as The Perfect Way in Diet. Kingsford was also active in the theosophical movement in England, becoming president of the Theosophical Society in 1883.She said she received had insights in trance- like states and in her sleep, which were collected from various manuscripts and pamphlets by her life- long collaborator Edward Maitland, and published posthumously in the book, Clothed with the Sun.
