Documentarian Lynn Gilbert is a storyteller and photographer known for capturing underrepresented facets of society. She honed her skills shooting children in schools before shifting to environmental portraits of diverse NYC families.
Gilbert also documented pioneering women from the second wave of feminism in her book 'Particular Passions.' She later turned her attention to the interiors of traditional Turkish houses, featured in The Silk Road: Then and Now.
More recently, she has been documenting a private garden's transformation through the seasons. Gilbert's work has been widely exhibited and published, with portraits in the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian, and New York Historical Society.
Grace Murray Hopper
This chapter was excerpted from
Particular Passions:
Talks with Women Who Have Shaped Our TimesGrace Murray Hopper was a brilliant mathematician and computer scientist. She was also a gifted teacher, navy admiral and brilliant communicator. One of the first three modern “programmers,” Hopper is best known for her trailblazing contributions to the development of computer languages, juggling between academia and the navy.
Hopper came of age at a time of unusual opportunity for women witha relatively high number of women receiving doctorates. She is an alum of Yale like her father. Hopper divorced her husband and never remarried or had children. She struggled with alcoholism and depression in the 1940s.
Her success in male-dominated fields and organizations, including the U.S. Navy, is exceptional.

Then also I think being an artist is a state of mind. There were a great many frustrations in my life, too. But the only thing I can say is that I was looking for harmony and I think my long suit was that I was able to remember things and externalize them. I wanted harmony within myself, so I externalized it in my work." ~Louise NevelsonPODCAST: CHANGING PLATFORMS WITH HOST ALKA BROMILEY GUEST LYNN GILBERT
