[1][2] While working in Finland, she edited the first Finnish-Croatian / Croatian-Finnish dictionary, ensuring that all nouns included both the feminine and masculine forms.

She was raised in Koprivnica, where she completed her primary and secondary education, with her younger sister Nada Beroš, who would later become a museum curator.

Ensler subsequently made a trip to Croatia and worked with Borić to establish self-help groups in refugee camps.

[4] In 1997, Borić and Ensler joined others involved in the movement to end violence against women to launch V-Day, through raising awareness globally.

[6] The movement was kicked off in 1998 with a production, aimed to raise funds to support community anti-violence groups and programs, of The Vagina Monologues at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

[6] She made sure that all of the nouns in the book included both feminine and masculine forms, rather than the typical male-default words used in traditional dictionaries.

[6][11] In 2007, she was honored as a Knight of the Order of the White Rose of Finland,[7] when the dictionary was published in recognition of her work to foster the relationship between the two countries.
