Anita Roddick - a great champion of women
Posted by harriet in Uncategorized | September 10th, 2007
I am so sad tonight to hear of the death of Anita Roddick. She was a great champion of women. She was exceptionally generous in her support of women’s groups and an inspirational leader of campaigns against domestic violence. And she will be sorely missed. I am sure that half of the work that she did will be known only by those who she supported. There was nothing grand about her. She just got on with it. Generously supporting numerous groups doing good work - like Body and Soul which helps children who’s families have been affected by HIV/AIDS. It was a great honour to have worked with her. My sympathy to her family. They must be very proud of the work she did.

Body shops’s flat refusal to allow any trade union organisation of their staff appears to have been forgotten - surely she was the enemy of organised labour, a doyen of unbridled capitalism?

She only started charity work once she was obscenely rich. That is not genuine charity more like trying to massage her own guilt.
