Stories about breaking out, breaking free, and bringing people together through the power of action, strength, hope and joy.
My Century offers a glimpse into the story of one woman’s extraordinary journey through the twentieth century. The story of Ann Lundgren is the story of how one woman can doggedly push against the status quo to rise to the top of a male dominated profession while being a wife and mother.
