Anita Roddick has a new campaign: domestic violence.
From the Toronto Star:
Some would say she sold out.
But retail rebel Anita Roddick, who this year sold her chain of beauty-product stores, The Body Shop, to the multinational L'Oréal for $1.2 billon (U.S.), is still going strong.
At 63, she's fighting for the causes that have always motivated her.
"The hidden victims of domestic violence are the children," said Roddick last night, in town to help launch an in-store Body Shop campaign against domestic violence.
