      I went to Stockholm to meet Lena, "The First Lady of The Internet," for @Wired. Her photo, "The Lenna," is one of the most controversial & most-copied images in computer history, yet Lena herself has been almost entirely occluded from its journey: https://www.wired.com/story/finding-lena-the-patron-saint-of-jpegs/ …
