Barbara Sommer Feigin is the author of My American Dream: A Journey from Fascism to Freedom, a memoir of resilience, grit and grace that starts with the discovery of her father's journal which describes the terrifying details of her family's escape from Nazi Germany. She becomes a trailblazing executive, and during her illustrious 30-year career at Grey Advertising (now Grey Global Group), she solidified her reputation as a visionary thinker. In all her years as a senior advertising executive and a corporate director, she was more often than not the only woman in the room. In 2017, Feigin was named one of the century’s Legendary Pioneers by Grey.
