The text is marked by its rhetorical flourish and accessibility, appealing to both the intellectual elite and the working class, creating a dialogue around the urgent need for systemic change. Besant's engagement with contemporary socialist movements situates her work within the larger discourse of early 20th-century political thought, making it not just a reflection of her time, but also a call to action for future generations. Annie Besant, a prominent theosophist, women's rights activist, and political commentator, was deeply influenced by her own experience with social injustice. Her advocacy for labor rights and education reform informed her socialist convictions, as she witnessed firsthand the struggles of the working class in England and beyond.
