Abstract
It was early spring in the year 2012 that a certain Ingibjörg Stefänsdöttir was interviewed on one of the television stations in Iceland. Ingibjörg1 is not a person of particular fame in Iceland. She is not a political leader, a sports hero or a celebrity say. Hers was not a name or a face that would be immediately recognised widely although as the interview went on, viewers were able to place her in a story they could remember.
