JOAN LOBIS BROWN : Women of an UNcertain Age | Women's History Month

 GALE
I have figured out that the way to conquer fear is with forgiveness. Forgiveness is everything. I forgive everybody. I forgive the God that gave me this breast cancer. The secret is to have a loving spirit, to be grateful, and to have faith that everyone has infinite possibilities. It’s all a gift, every challenge, everything that is given you. Everyone is part of something bigger. That belief is what keeps me going. Photograph © Joan Lobis Brown

I color my skin and not my hair. I’m an Ivy-League educated woman who teaches deaf and hard of hearing children. I am an author, having written a book for children. I am also a collector of tattoos. Photograph © Joan Lobis Brown

"Women of an UNcertain Age: Indomitable Baby Boomers Challenging Cultural Norms is a series of portraits by photographer Joan Lobis Brown with texts selected from interviews with her subjects that focus on American baby boomer women of diverse ethnicities, religions, sexual identities, professions and socioeconomic backgrounds. Their stories cover a wide variety of accomplishments. They are athletes, scholars, activists, businesswomen, artists, immigrants and survivors. They are role models all. These amazing women are a testament to the character, courage, vitality and spunk of American baby boomer women."
