Florence Farr

Florence Farr (7 July 1860 - 29 April 1917) was an English actress, composer, director, women's rights activist, journalist, educator, singer, novelist, and a leader of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

After William Wynn Westcott retired from the Order, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers had Farr take his place as leader in England.

While at the in London, Mathers' protege, Aleister Crowley, came demanding she allow him into the Inner Order. When she refused, Crowley jumped onto her desk, shouting and raising his fist. Seeing her terrified response, Crowley began laughing.

Mathers eventually initiated Crowley into Inner Order, starting a rift that led to Farr's departure from the Order.
