"Blavatsky became famous not because of her writing 
but because Annie Besant made TS internationally 
reputed organization and Blavatsky was technically
founder of it. So little fame which Blavatsky has 
is to much extent due to work of Annie Besant."

But consider the following.

In 1891 when Madame Blavatsky died, she was a
very famous woman. I have collected hundreds
of obituaries of her as found in the newspapers
of the day. I have always been amazed at how
extensive was the coverage of her death throughout
the world.

Here is just one of those articles in the newspapers:

Madame Blavatsky 
Reprinted from the New-York Daily Tribune, Sunday, May 10, 1891, p. 
6.
