Re:Annie Besant was real founder of the TS

Olcott and Blavatsky were technically founders of the TS. However when
they were in-charge there was not much acceptance of Theosophy nor was
it internationally recognized organization. Blavatsky was told not to
look into administration. She wrote some 3-4 books. Compare it with
Annie Besant's work. Besant wrote some 300 books, she was incharge of
ES and administration of the Theosophical Society. Under her
leadership
Theosophical Society became truly international organization with
recognition in many countries. Vast high quality literature was
written
when she was leader which was appreciated around the world. Blavatsky
became famous not because of her writing but because Annie Besant made
TS internationally reputed organization and Blavatsky was technically
founder of it. So little fame which Blavatsky has is to much extent
due
to work of Annie Besant.
So although Annie Besant did not sign papers when TS was incorporated,
practically Annie Besant was founder of the Theosophical Society.
