Josephine MacLeod (1858 – 15 October 1949) was an American friend and devotee of Swami Vivekananda.[1][2] She had a strong attachment to India and was an active participant in the Ramakrishna Vivekananda movement.[3]
She was given the nicknames "Tantine" and "Jo Jo" by Vivekananda. She considered Swami Vivekananda to be her friend and helped him with his finances.
MacLeod was not a sanyasin, unlike many others such as Sister Nivedita or Sister Christine.[3] She was instrumental in spreading Vivekananda's message on Vedanta in the West.[4]
She made many contributions to the initial and the later phases of the development of the order of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. She was a contributor to many causes espoused by Sister Nivedita, the most famous disciple of Vivekananda, including that of contributing financially towards the development of the Indian National Movement especially in Bengal and elsewhere in India.[5]
