Beatrix Potter forged her own creative path to independence, fame, and financial success.
This is the story of Beatrix beyond the bunnies..
Becoming Beatrix covers Potter\'s early Life and influences, artistic work, fascination with animals and the natural sciences, and interest and research in fungi, as well as her writing and illustration journey and her later years as a wife, farmer, businesswoman, and conservationist.
Beatrix Potter was a woman ahead of her time, making her own decisions and handling her own business affairs despite living in a Victorian society that was unaccustomed to unmarried women doing so.
She was a natural scientist, mycologist, environmentalist, preservationist, farmer, and expert sheep breeder.
But she was so much more than a painter of watercolor bunnies in little blue jackets or ducks waddling about in bonnets and shawls.
