Anna Filosofova (1837–1912) was a Russian feminist of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Born into a noble family, she married Vladimir Filosofov at a young age and had six children. Concerned with the plight of serfs, Filosofova became a feminist in the late 1850s, educated in the salon of Maria Trubnikova. Alongside Trubnikova and Nadezhda Stasova, Filosofova was an early leader of the Russian women's movement; the three were called the "triumvirate". They founded and led several organizations to promote women's cultural and economic independence, such as a publishing house and a women's shelter. They pressured government officials to allow higher education for women, resulting in the creation of the Bestuzhev Courses. From 1879 to 1881, Filosofova was exiled, suspected of revolutionary sympathies; abroad, she became a theosophist. In later life, she participated in the Russian Revolution of 1905 and chaired the first Russian women's congress in 1908, becoming a revered feminist figure. (Full article...)
