About this episode
This episode explores the life of Anne Lister, often referred to as the first modern lesbian, highlighting her intellect, adventurous spirit, and prolific writing.
Join me this week to learn about the woman who is often called "the first modern lesbian"... and why so was so much more than that! Anne had a brilliant mind, a thrilling sense of adventure, and a heart that was desperate to find love. Luckily for us, Anne was also a prolific diarist... and we have her own words (millions of them!) to show us what her life was really like. Support the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee Page .
