Carole Turbin is a native New Yorker and lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with her husband. In the early 1960s she studied painting and drawing in New York and Berkeley, California, and after joining New York Radical Feminists decided to learn about woman's history. She earned a PhD in Sociology from the New School for Social Research (1978), and then taught, researched, and published books and articles on the history of workingwomen and material culture. In the mid-1990s she returned to art, became a lithographer, and has exhibited prints and drawings in the New York area. Her subject is the objects and settings that ordinary people encounter in their homes and neighborhoods.
