The records of Artemis Productions include correspondence, financial documents, notes, printed materials, audio recordings of concerts, and other materials documenting women's music and Artemis-produced women's music concerts. Materials document Artemis's commitment to providing childcare at concerts; their efforts to hire local women to run all aspects of concerts and the need to work with men since men generally owned the sound equipment needed to produce concerts; their efforts to provide free and discounted concert tickets with the goal of making women's music more accessible to a wider audience; their use of local feminist businesses, including New Words Bookstore, to sell tickets; and their efforts to respond to community feedback, including criticism over scheduling the 2nd Boston Women's Music Festival during Passover. Many acts identified as lesbian separatists and specified women-only audiences. Materials document challenges to that policy by men on the grounds of discrimination and discussions among the women's music community concerning whether male children should be allowed at concerts. A small amount of material also addresses the debate in the women's music community over whether to include transgender women in the community. Artemis Productions was founded in 1974 by Linda Barufaldi, Emily Culpepper, Andrea Gillespie, Jean MacRae, and Betsy York with the goal of bringing women's music to the Boston area. They were later joined by Diane Sabin. They incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1975 and produced their first concert, the 1st Boston Women's Music Festival, in October 1975. They went on to produce concerts by Casse Culver, Meg Christian, Holly Near, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Willie Tyson, Cris Williamson, and other women's music acts. Concerts, many of which were held in partnership with the Harvard-Radcliffe Women's Center, were produced using all-women crews, all of whom were paid for their contributions. Artemis produced their last concert in 1979 and formally dissolved in 1986.

While living in Atlanta she co-founded Georgians for the ERA; was project director for the Northwest Georgia Girl Scout Council's Education for Parenthood human sexuality training program; and created her own business, ATTHIS, which offered workshops in lesbian sexuality.
In 1973 Gabriner was arrested on the charge of presenting falsified information to a United States Passport Office in Boston in 1970. She was tried and convicted in 1977; but was exonerated upon appeal in 1978. In 1979 Gabriner moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where she wrote for Sojourner and Gay Community News.

In 2009, Gabriner received her PhD in women's history from Union Institute and University, documenting her mother's involvement in Parent Teacher Association activism.
Raised in a secular tradition of Jewish social and political activism, Gabriner began to deepen her relationship with a number of Jewish organizations in the 1990s. She was active in the Boston Workman's Circle, particularly their Yiddish Chorus A Besere Velt. She was bat mitzvahed in 1995. Gabriner began a relationship with Jewish feminist Rochelle Ruthchild in 1992. They had a civil union ceremony in 2002 and were legally married in June 2004.
