Beatrix Potter was not only an author and illustrator,  but also a land conservationist and a political activist who managed to overcome a Victorian upbringing and become a successful, independent, and accomplished woman in her own right---no small feat in turn of the 19th century England!

She has been a member of the London-based Beatrix Potter Society for 25 years and serves as the group’s North American Liaison Officer.
