Best Answer

Mrs Besant acted as a journalist and a platform speaker throughout her career; she could always fill a hall. She claimed to be a feminist and professed to believe in women's suffrage, but never campaigned for it. Likewise she claimed to support the campaign to abolish the hated Contagious Diseases Acts, but took no active part in that long fight either. Yet she was politically important to other women's causes. This can be seen in specific campaigns that she did actively support: her support for birth control; and her support for the Match Girls' Strike at Bryant & May.
