Jean Gibran taught for twenty-five years in the Boston Public Schools. Still a teacher activist, she now serves as Project Assistant for Boston TeachNet where she helps teachers broadcast good news about themselves and their Service Learning projects. Jean became interested in early twentieth century women when researching material for her biography, Kahlil Gibran His Life and World (co-authored with her husband). Determined to tell the stories of the artists, poets, and social workers who influenced the young Lebanese immigrant, she was an original contributor to the first curriculum published by BWHT and served as Board Secretary for five years. A South End resident and frequent Back Bay walker, Jean looks forward to many more stories by and about women achievers from these Boston neighborhoods.
