Biography
Lisa Nicole Brennan-Jobs (born May 17, 1978) is an American writer, the daughter of Apple co‑founder Steve Jobs and artist Chrisann Brennan. Jobs initially denied paternity for several years, which led to a legal case and media reports in the early days of Apple; they later reconciled and he accepted paternity. An early Apple business computer, the Apple Lisa, is named after her.
Born on a farm and named in a field by her parents, her childhood unfolded in Silicon Valley. Her father was often absent when she was young; later he took an interest, introducing her to mansions, vacations, and private schools while at times being cold, critical, and unpredictable. After a strained relationship with her mother in high school she moved in with her father. Brennan-Jobs has worked as a journalist and magazine writer, has been depicted in several biographies and films, and appears fictionalized in her aunt Mona Simpson's novel A Regular Guy.
