- Doris Fisher cofounded clothing retailer Gap in 1969 with her husband, Don (d. 2009), after the couple struggled to find jeans that fit him.
- The couple raised $63,000 to open their first store, which sold jeans and music, in San Francisco.
- Doris Fisher served as the company's merchandiser from the day it opened until 2003 and sat on Gap's board until 2009.
- The 1953 Stanford economics graduate cofounded the KIPP Foundation, which supports public charter schools, donating $15 million.
- Gap is short for "generation gap." The Fishers agreed on the name after Doris nixed her husband's original idea, "Pants and Discs."
- The Fishers amassed a $1 billion art collection, including works by Andy Warhol and Gerhard Richter, now on display in San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art.
