After Crowley
Hirsig spent the winter in Paris, France. There her financial problems continued, although Crowley biographer Lawrence Sutin rejects the assertion of earlier writers that she worked as a prostitute. She continued to work for Crowley and the promulgation of Thelema for at least three years.
She later married William George Barron, with whom she had a son, Alexander Barron (4 Dec 1925-?)
On March 13, 1926 Alma Hirsig, the sister of Crowley’s ex-Scarlet Woman Leah Hirsig, more commonly known as Mrs. Marian Dockerill, published her expose on Aleister Crowley, on 'Oom the Omnipotent' Pierre Bernard (yogi) and others in a series of articles which began running on this date in the New York Journal, titled "My Life in a Love Cult, A Warning to All Young Girls".
Hirsig later rejected Crowley's status as a prophet, while still recognizing the Law of Thelema. Ultimately she returned to her work as a schoolteacher in America. John Symonds, "Crowley's most hostile biographer," claimed to find rumors of her converting to Roman Catholicism.

Famous quotes containing the word crowley:
“Roughly speaking, any man with energy and enthusiasm ought to be able to bring at least a dozen others round to his opinion in the course of a year no matter how absurd that opinion might be. We see every day in politics, in business, in social life, large masses of people brought to embrace the most revolutionary ideas, sometimes within a few days. It is all a question of getting hold of them in the right way and working on their weak points.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“The people who have really made history are the martyrs.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
