Joan E Biren
b. 1944

 

During the 1970s and 1980s, the photographs of Joan Elizabeth Biren, better known as JEB, defined and set the standard for lesbian feminist image making in the United States. They are broadly inclusive, showing women of various ages, different racial and ethnic groups, able-bodied and differently-abled, mothers and children, bearded women, country and city dykes, and those involved in traditional and innovative spiritual practices.
