==Biography==
Born in 1916, Rebecca Lepkoff grew up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.〔("Rebecca Lepkoff" ). Retrieved 31 March 2013.〕 Working as a dancer at the 1939 World's Fair, she saved enough money to buy a second-hand Borlander camera. Fascinated by the area where she lived, she first photographed Essex and Hester Streets which, she recalls, "were full of pushcarts." They no longer exist today but then "everyone was outside: the mothers with their baby carriages, and the men just hanging out." Her photographs captured people in the streets, especially children, as well as the buildings and the signs on store fronts.〔(Nicole Lyn Pesce, "96-year-old photographer Rebecca Lepkoff brings the lower East Side back into focus" ), ''Daily News'', 18 March 2012. Retrieved 31 March 2013.〕
In 1950, she also photographed people at work and play in Vermont. The images were used to illustrate the book ''Almost Utopia: The Residents and Radicals of Pikes Falls, Vermont, 1950'', published by the Vermont Historical Society. They present the area before its character was changed with paved roads and vacationers.〔("Rebecca Lepkoff's Photos: "Residents & Radicals" in Vermont, 1950" ), Gallery Walk. Retrieved 31 March 2013.〕 In the 1970s, she photographed the next generation of inhabitants in a series she called ''Vermont Hippies''.〔("''Vermont Hippies''" ), Vermont Center for Photography.

Rebecca Lepkoff was an active member of the Photo League from 1947 until 1951 when it was dissolved as a "communist organization" in the McCarthy era.〔〔(''Where do we go from here?" ), New York Public Library. Retrieved 31 March 2013.〕
