Clara Codd was born in 1876 in England, the oldest of ten daughters. Even as a child, she questioned the meaning of life and felt moved into a search for "something." As a young woman, a strong sense for freedom and justice moved her to work for the enfranchisement of women.

Clara Codd’s Theosophical career lasted nearly 70 years, during which time she traveled to virtually every continent
