Potter was an amazing watercolorist, observing the animals she owned and writing the fanciful stories based on their behaviors. Along with Peter Rabbit, she also created Squirrel Nutkin, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle-Duck, and Mrs. Tiggywinkle. She was a woman in a man's world, but she broke through the barriers set for her with her talent and her tenacity.
