An address by Barbara Clifford recorded on Sunday, 22nd April, 2018 in the Unitarian Meeting House in Adelaide. Barbara reflects on the contributions of the famous female Unitarian, Beatrix Potter under the title - "The hero who eats carrots". We discover that Beatrix was more than a writer of children's books. Barbara also refers to the lives of two other noted female Unitarians: Elizabeth Gaskell and Sylvia Plath.
