She found this in Theosophy, so she joined the Theosophical Society, a move that distanced her from Bradlaugh and other former activist coworkers.

To explain her change of view, on August 4 and 11, 1889, she delivered a lecture in the Hall of Science on the subject "Why I Became a Theosophist."On September 4 of that year, in HPB’s house, she met H. S. Olcott, cofounder of the Theosophical Society and international President. He immediately recognized her value. He wrote in Old Diary Leaves: "At the time of my [first] visit I had the chance to see of what infinite tenderness and unselfish compassion Mrs Besant was capable,"[12] and, "She is the most important gain to us since Sinnett."
