Dame Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, has died of a major brain hemorrhage. I fell in love with The Body Shop back in the early 90s and had met Dame Roddick twice since then; once at an Amnesty International conference and once at a book signing.
She was ahead of her time as an environmentalist, human rights activist and entrepreneur. She lived and worked with passion and with the commitment to do the right thing. She introduced the world to the idea of combining green consumerism with education on social issues, she was a true pioneer.
Thanks for everything you've given to this world. RIP.
