Marianne Faithfull Photographed by Doreen Spooner, October 1964

Doreen Spooner was probably the first female photographer to have a staff job for a popular British newspaper. Due to an alcoholic husband and a distinct lack of money she joined the Daily Mirror in 1962. In a career stretching from the late 1940s to the 1990s, she became something of a feminist icon.

These fascinating black and white photographs of Marianne Faithfull at her flat in London were taken by photographer Doreen Spooner on October 31, 1964.
