McCartney Times

It’s interesting to recall the waves of denigration with which Yoko Ono was lambasted in the late Sixties, much of it coming from women who perhaps had a grudging resentment that she – not just a Japanese woman, but an older Japanese woman, and possessed of neither commonplace beauty nor “correct” social skills – should have won the heart of a Beatle seven years her junior. With hindsight, of course, she can be recognised as a strong, independently creative proto-feminist icon, at a time when they were few and far between.
