'''[[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 [[Serfdom in Russia|serfs]], Filosofova became a feminist in the late 1850s, educated in the [[Salon (gathering)|salon]] of [[Maria Trubnikova]]. Alongside Trubnikova and [[Nadezhda Stasova]], Filosofova was an early leader of the [[Feminism in Russia|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 [[Theosophy|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. {{TFAFULL|Anna Filosofova}}
