Description
Anne Lister's extraordinary life is revealed in her remarkable diaries, which offer a unique insight into the mind of a brilliant and fearless woman. In this new edition, Jill Liddington brings together the diaries, which include Anne's love affairs with startling candour, her business ventures, and her social ambitions. Anne Lister's life was marked by her determination to succeed, whether in her personal or professional life. She was a successful businesswoman, who developed her own coalmines, and a fearless traveller, who explored the world. Her diaries also reveal her romantic relationships, including her relationship with Ann Walker, who moved in to live with Anne and her family in 1834. This edition includes a fascinating Afterword, which explores the recent discovery of Ann Walker's own diary, providing a new perspective on the story. For those who have been inspired by the drama series Gentleman Jack, this book offers a deeper understanding of the extraordinary woman behind the story.
