Anita RoddickThursday 18 October 2001
Anita Roddick turned a small home made cosmetics shop in Brighton into a global brand. There are now branches of 'The Body Shop' in high streets up and down Britain and around the world.

These days she spends more time campaigning against globalisation than she does on business.
Find out how she squares running a multinational company with being an anti-capitalist protestor.
Also discussing anti-globalisation are Susan Buckingham-Hatfield, of the Women's Environmental Network and a Senior Lecturer in Geography and Environmental Issues at Brunel University, and Mike Mosbacher of the right-wing think tank, The Social Affairs Unit.
Take It Personally: How Globalisation Affects You And How To Fight Back (HarperCollins; ISBN: 0007128983, £12.99)
