Sheherazade Goldsmith
Sheherazade Bentley Goldsmith (born 14 March 1974) is an English environmentalist, author and socialite.
During the 1990s, Goldsmith worked in the fashion industry, first as a model and then as a marketer. In the 21st century, she has been an environmental activist who has undertaken a variety of green initiatives, starting with an Organic food business that she ran in London from 2000 to 2002. In 2007, she edited a guide to eco-friendly living, A Slice of Organic Life: Get Closer to the Soil Without Going the Whole Hog, which she followed a year later by publishing a how-to guide for celebrating Christmas in an environmentally friendly way, called A Greener Christmas.
Goldsmith frequently contributes as a columnist to various national newspapers and other publications in the United Kingdom, including You Magazine, for which she has been an eco-columnist since 2008. Owing to her activism, she has been repeatedly identified by the British media as "the Poster Girl for the Green Generation" and a "Green Goddess." She runs a small organic farm in Devon and is divorced from her husband, Zac Goldsmith, the Conservative MP for Richmond Park, with whom she has three children.

Famous quotes containing the word goldsmith:
“When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And finds too late that men betray,
What charm can soothe her melancholy,
What art can wash her guilt away?
The only art her guilt to cover,
To hide her shame from every eye,
To give repentance to her lover,
And wring his bosom—is to die.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
