Beatrix Potter, or Helen Beatrix Potter was a British childrens book author & illustrator. Her most famous character is Peter Rabbit. Her father, Rupert Potter, although educated as a barrister, spent his days at Gentlemens clubs & rarely practiced. Her mother spent her time visiting or receiving visitors. Both parents lived on incomes from their parents. Nannies & governesses raised Beatrix & her younger brother, Bertam. When she came of age, her parents appointed her their housekeeper & discouraged any intellectual development, instead requiring her to supervise the household. An uncle attempted to introduce her as a student at the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, but she was rejected because she was a female. The basis of her many art projects & stories were the small animals that she smuggled into the house or observed during family holidays in Scotland & the Lake District. Potter was one of the first to suggest that lichens were a symbiotic relationship between fungi & algae, but her one attempt to publish was thwarted.
