Pride Month Special: A Pioneering Lesbian Photographer

This month, in honor of Pride, we’re going to be bringing you an Outward episode every week.

Today, it’s a segment from a 2021 episode of Working, Slate's podcast about the creative process, in which June Thomas spoke with photographer Joan E. Biren, also known as JEB. In the interview, JEB discusses the creation, funding, and printing of her groundbreaking 1979 photobook Eye to Eye: Portraits of Lesbians, which was reissued by Anthology Editions in 2021. 

The Working episode was produced by Cameron Drews.
