Tipper Gore

Tipper Gore is a fascinating, polarizing figure depending on which decade you grew up in. To music fans she'll always be tied to the PMRC and those Senate hearings that put the 'Parental Advisory' sticker on records, and plenty of artists from Dee Snider to Frank Zappa pushed back hard. But there's more to her than the culture-war headline: she did serious work on mental-health advocacy and homelessness, and she's a genuinely accomplished photographer. I find her most interesting as someone who became a symbol in a fight far bigger than her, then kept quietly doing her own thing afterward.

Mary Elizabeth "Tipper" Gore (born August 19, 1948) is an American author, photographer, and social issues advocate. As the former Second Lady of the United States during her then-husband Al Gore's vice presidency, she became widely known for co-founding the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) in 1985, which campaigned for parental advisory labels on music. She also studied psychology and worked on mental-health awareness.
