EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Shepherdess: How's this for Woman's lib" we are transported to the serene beauty of the mountains and mist that surround 29-year-old Agnes Wilson from Bodesbeck, near Selkirk. Against the backdrop of nature's grandeur, Agnes fearlessly embraces her daily job as one of the few shepherdesses in the country. With her loyal companion Maree by her side, Agnes stands proudly amidst a flock of 300 sheep she diligently cares for. The image captures a moment frozen in time - December 1971 - where traditional gender roles were being challenged and shattered. Agnes represents strength, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to her craft. As she tends to each sheep with tenderness and expertise, she defies societal expectations and paves the way for future generations of women seeking liberation. This photograph not only showcases rural scenes but also serves as a powerful symbol of empowerment during the 1970s. It reminds us that true equality knows no boundaries or limitations – it can be found even in remote corners like Bodesbeck. As we admire this remarkable snapshot captured by Mirrorpix from Memory Lane Prints, let us celebrate Agnes Wilson's pioneering spirit while acknowledging all those who have fought tirelessly for women's rights throughout history.
