I read it this morning too.

She was such a campaigner for Women, it truly is a sad day.

...This news came as a bit of a shock to me, Anita was so passionate about everything she did and what she gave to this world... seems such a shame to have lost her.....

...I have never been so proud to represent The Body Shop @ Home and Im sure despite the great loss, her great work and accomplishments will continue and never be forgotten....

...Against animal testing, Defend Human rights, support community trade, activate self esteem, protect our planet....

I just hope that L'Oreal keep their promise and don't test The Body Shop products on animals like they do with their own products.

I hope for Dame Anita Roddick's sake that L'Oreal wont test The Body Shop's products on animals.

She will be sorely missed. I used to be the Environment Manager for Body Shop Australia late 80s early 90s and met her a couple of times, she was definitely a character larger then life.

She was not only a pioneer for getting environmental issues into the mainstream of business thinking but also a pioneer for women in business too.

She will be missed.
