Look Back in Anger: A Mid-1960s Portrait of Discontent and Defiance This evocative mid-1960s portrait captures the intense gaze of a woman as she looks back over her shoulder, her expression a fiery blend of anger and determination. The full-length image, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, presents a striking contrast between the soft, flowing lines of her dress and the unyielding set of her jaw, her clenched fists, and the cross she holds behind her back. The image, reminiscent of the title of John Osborne's groundbreaking 1956 play, "Look Back in Anger," speaks to the simmering discontent and frustration that characterized the lives of many women during this era. As housewives and mothers, they were often confined to the domestic sphere, their dreams and ambitions stifled by societal expectations and limited opportunities. The woman in this portrait, however, defies those constraints, her angry look daring the viewer to challenge her. Her posture and demeanor suggest a woman who has had enough, who is no longer willing to accept the status quo. The cross she carries behind her back, a symbol of faith and hope, adds a layer of complexity to her character, hinting at a deeper, more nuanced story. This powerful portrait, taken during a time of great social and cultural upheaval, serves as a poignant reminder of the strength and resilience of women who dared to challenge the norms of their time. It is a testament to their courage and determination to forge their own paths, even in the face of adversity.
