Like many self-starting entrepreneurs, Lynette Molnar wears many hats. The Provincetown-based event promoter, professional photographer and LGBT activist has created hundreds of Girl Power Productions events over the past 10-plus years. Her primary motivation is “to give women more of the opportunities gay men have; it’s such a man’s world, and to create more spaces for people to be who they are.”

Molnar says her biggest obstacle is “having enough time to implement all the ideas I have to help connect women, business owners, even couples,” she says. “I have a sixth sense for what’s missing and the ability to create it.”

Activism has long been part of Molnar’s life. As an eighth-grader, she convinced her school district to comply with Title IX and offer girls’ intramural sports. Soon she’d like to “take the Girl Power show on the road to women in communities that don’t have the liberty we do in places like Provincetown, San Francisco, Miami and New York.” —KL
