Mrs. McGregor

Mrs. McGregor is a major antagonist in two of Beatrix Potter's books. She is the wife of Mr. McGregor appearing in The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (as a minor antagonist), and The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies (as the secondary antagonist).

She also appeared in the books' television adaptations.

History
Just like her husband, Mrs. McGregor owns a vegetable garden and dislikes and pests trying to steal her vegetables, particularly rabbits. According to Peter Rabbit's mother, Mrs. McGregor put Peter's father into a pie. Peter disobeys his mother and trespasses into Mr. McGregor's garden. Peter is nearly captured by Mr. McGregor, but manages to escape, leaving behind his blue jacket and slippers which were made into a scarecrow.

In the Tale of Benjamin Bunny, Mrs. McGregor plays a very minor role. She is seen only a few times driving her horse and cart to town with her husband to town and returning to their garden after Peter and Benjamin get Peter's clothes.

In The Flopsy Bunnies, Mrs. McGregor sent her husband out to bring her six rabbits over to her so she can cook them. However, when he brings the bag over, he was unaware that Flopsy's children were replaced by rotten vegetables, and this angers his wife, resulting both of them into a nasty argument.
