Biografie & Werdegang des Autors
Abigail Shrier came to writing by a circuitous route. She grew up in Prince George’s County, Maryland, the daughter of two Maryland state judges, attended a community Jewish day school, worked as a teenage stringer for the Washington Jewish Week, and studied philosophy at Columbia, Oxford, and Yale Law School. After clerking on the D.C. Circuit and moving to Los Angeles, she spent a brief period in legal practice before leaving firm life for marriage, motherhood, and years of mostly private writing. The first decisive turn came when op-eds she wrote for a local Jewish paper were noticed by a Wall Street Journal editor, opening a national platform.
