Joan E. Biren or JEB (born July 13, 1944 in Washington, DC) is an American feminist photographer and film-maker, who dramatizes the lives of LGBT’s in contexts that range from healthcare and hurricane relief to Womyn’s Music and anti-racism. For portraits, she encourages sitters to act as her “muse”, rather than her “subject”. Biren was a member of The Furies Collective, a short-lived but influential lesbian commune.
