About Isabel Cooper-Oakley

Lived 1854 – 1914 (aged 60). Isabel Cooper-Oakley was a British writer, theosophist and mystic.

Harriet Isabella (Isabel) Cooper-Oakley (31 January 1854 – 3 March 1914), was a prominent Theosophist and author.

She was born in Amritsar, India to (Frederic) Henry Cooper, C.B., commissioner of Lahore and his wife Mary (née Steel), receiving a good education because of her father's belief in the value of education for women.

Isabel Cooper-Oakley died on March 3, 1914, at Budapest, Hungary.
