Anne Lister was a Regency landowner, an intrepid world traveller ... and an unabashed lover of other women. \u003cbr\u003eIn this bold new biography, prizewinning author Angela Steidele uses the diaries to create a portrait of Anne Lister as we've never seen her before: a woman in some ways very much of her time and in others far ahead of it. Anne Lister recorded everything from the most intimate details of her numerous liaisons through to her plans to make her fortune by exploiting the coal seams under her family estate in Halifax and her reaction to the Peterloo massacre. She conducted a love life of labyrinthine complexity, all while searching for a girlfriend who could provide her with both financial security and true love.\u003cbr\u003eAnne Lister's rich and unconventional life is now the subject of the major BBC TV drama series\u003ci\u003e Gentleman Jack\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAngela Steidele has written several books about LGBTQ+ lives in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. \u003ci\u003eLove Story: Adele Schopenhauer and Sibylle Mertens\u003c\/i\u003e was shortlisted for the NDR Kultur non-fiction prize.
