Autorenporträt
Victoria Shinagel was 51 years old when a dramatic turn of events altered the course of her life. Born in Cambridge Massachusetts, in the heart of Harvard Square to academic parents, She had all the intellectual opportunities at her hand. Educated at the University of Vermont and Harvard University she excelled in physical achievements as a marathon runner, body builder, Black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and competitive down hill ski racer, these accomplishments are not what made her. Her career as an executive in the furniture industry in Asia and the U.S was a turning point for women in business. Only a six by nine foot cell of cinder block and concrete could do for her what her privileged life could not.
