Book description
These remarkable diaries are a piece of lost lesbian history. Anne
Lister defied the role of womanhood seen in the novels of Jane Austen:
she was bold, fiercely independent, a landowner, industrialist,
traveller ? and lesbian. She kept extensive diaries, written partly in
code, of her life and loves. The diaries have been edited by Helena
Whitbread, who spent years decoding and transcribing them.
