Description

Anne Lister's diaries reveal a woman who defied convention, living life on her own terms. Born in 1791, Lister was a bold and fiercely independent individual, who, in the 19th century, was expected to marry and conform to societal norms. Instead, she chose a different path, exercising conscious choice and control over her life. Lister's extensive journals, written in an elaborate code, provide a unique insight into her life, including her relationships and personal struggles. The diaries are a testament to her modernity, as she navigated a time when women's property and autonomy were limited. This volume, edited by Helena Whitbread, offers a previously suppressed piece of lesbian history, shedding light on Lister's life and experiences. A fascinating and revealing read, Anne Lister's diaries are a must-have for anyone interested in the history of gender, sexuality, and the intimate lives of women.
